Host Interface Signals
Signal Name Type Description
HADS# I/O
AGTL+
Host Address Strobe:
The system bus owner asserts HADS# to indicate the first of two
cycles of a request phase. The GMCH can also assert this signal for
snoop cycles and interrupt messages.
HBNR# I/O
AGTL+
Host Block Next Request:
Used to block the current request bus owner from issuing a new
request. This signal is used to dynamically control the CPU bus
pipeline depth.
HBPRI# O
AGTL+
Host Bus Priority Request:
The GMCH is the only Priority Agent on the system bus. It asserts
this signal to obtain the ownership of the address bus. This signal has
priority over symmetric bus requests and will cause the current
symmetric owner to stop issuing new transactions unless the
HLOCK# signal was asserted.
HBREQ0# I/O
AGTL+
Host Bus Request 0#:
The GMCH pulls the processor bus HBREQ0# signal low during
HCPURST#. The signal is sampled by the processor on the
active-to-inactive transition of HCPURST#.
HBREQ0# should be tri-stated after the hold time requirement has
been satisfied.
HCPURST# O
AGTL+
Host CPU Reset:
The CPURST# pin is an output from the GMCH. The GMCH asserts
HCPURST# while RSTIN# is asserted and for approximately 1 ms
after RSTIN# is deasserted. HCPURST# allows the processor to
begin execution in a known state.

Reset and Miscellaneous Signals
Signal Name Type Description
RSTIN# I
HVCMOS
Reset In:
When asserted this signal will asynchronously reset the GMCH logic.
This signal is connected to the PLT_RST# output of the ICH6-M.
This input has a Schmitt trigger to avoid spurious resets. This input
buffer is 3.3-V tolerant.
PWROK I
HVCMOS
Power OK:
When asserted, PWROK is an indication to the GMCH that core
power has been stable for at least 10 s.
This input buffer is 3.3-V tolerant.
H_BSEL [2:0]
(CFG[2:0])
I
HVCMOS
Host Bus Speed Select:
At the deassertion of RSTIN#, the value sampled on these pins
determines the expected frequency of the bus.
External pull-ups are required.
CFG[17:3] I
AGTL+
HW straps:
CFG [17:3] has internal pull up.
NOTE: Not all CFG Balls are supported for Intel 915GMS.
CFG[20:18] I
HVCMOS
HW straps:
CFG [20:18] has internal pull down
NOTE: Not all CFG Balls are supported for Intel 915GMS.
BM_BUSY# O
HVCMOS
GMCH Integrated Graphics Busy:
Indicates to the ICH that the integrated graphics engine within the
MCH is busy and transitions to low power states should not be
attempted until that is no longer the case.
THRMTRIP# O
COD
GMCH Thermal Trip:
Assertion of THERMTRIP# (Thermal Trip) indicates the GMCH
junction temperature has reached a level beyond which damage may
occur. Upon assertion of THERMTRIP#, the GMCH will shut off its
internal clocks (thus halting program execution) in an attempt to
reduce the GMCH core junction temperature. To protect GMCH, its
core voltage (Vcc) must be removed following the assertion of
THERMTRIP#. Once activated, THERMTRIP# remains latched
until RSTIN# is asserted. While the assertion of the RSTIN# signal
will deassert THERMTRIP#, if the GMCHs junction temperature
remains at or above the trip level, THERMTRIP# will again be
asserted.
EXT_TS[1:0]# I
HVCMOS
External Thermal Sensor Input:
If the system temperature reaches a dangerously high value then this
signal can be used to trigger the start of system memory throttling.
NOTE: EXT_TS1# functionality is not supported in 915GMS. A pull
up is required on this pin

5.2 Intel ICH6-M South Bridge(1)
PCI Interface Signals

Name Type Description
AD[31:0] I/O PCI Address/Data: AD[31:0] is a multiplexed address and data bus.
During the first clock of a transaction, AD[31:0] contain a physical
address (32 bits). During subsequent clocks, AD[31:0] contain data.
The Intel ICH6 will drive all 0s on AD[31:0] during the address
phase of all PCI Special Cycles.
C/BE[3:0]# I/O Bus Command and Byte Enables: The command and byte enable
signals are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address
phase of a transaction,
C/BE[3:0]# define the bus command. During the data phase
C/BE[3:0]# define the Byte Enables.
C/BE[3:0]# Command Type
0000b Interrupt Acknowledge
0001b Special Cycle
0010b I/O Read
0011b I/O Write
0110b Memory Read
0111b Memory Write
1010b Configuration Read
1011b Configuration Write
1100b Memory Read Multiple
1110b Memory Read Line
1111b Memory Write and Invalidate
All command encodings not shown are reserved. The ICH6 does not
decode reserved values, and therefore will not respond if a PCI master
generates a cycle using one of the reserved values.
DEVSEL# I/O Device Select: The ICH6 asserts DEVSEL# to claim a PCI
transaction. As an output, the ICH6 asserts DEVSEL# when a PCI
master peripheral attempts an access to an internal ICH6 address or an
address destined DMI (main memory or graphics). As an input,
DEVSEL# indicates the response to an ICH6-initiated transaction on
the PCI bus. DEVSEL# is tri-stated from the leading edge of
PLTRST#. DEVSEL# remains tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by
a target device.
FRAME# I/O Cycle Frame: The current initiator drives FRAME# to indicate the
beginning and duration of a PCI transaction. While the initiator
asserts FRAME#, data transfers continue. When the initiator negates
FRAME#, the transaction is in the final data phase. FRAME# is an
input to the ICH6 when the ICH6 is the target, and FRAME# is an
output from the ICH6 when the ICH6 is the initiator. FRAME#
remains tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by an initiator.
PCI Interface Signals (Continued)

Name Type Description
IRDY# I/O Initiator Ready: IRDY# indicates the ICH6's ability, as an initiator,
to complete the current data phase of the transaction. It is used in
conjunction with TRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock
both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a write,
IRDY# indicates the ICH6 has valid data present on AD[31:0].
During a read, it indicates the ICH6 is prepared to latch data. IRDY#
is an input to the ICH6 when the ICH6 is the target and an output
from the ICH6 when the ICH6 is an initiator. IRDY# remains
tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by an initiator.
TRDY# I/O Target Ready: TRDY# indicates the ICH6's ability as a target to
complete the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is used in
conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is completed when both
TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted.
During a read, TRDY# indicates that the ICH6, as a target, has placed
valid data on AD[31:0]. During a write, TRDY# indicates the ICH6,
as a target is prepared to latch data. TRDY# is an input to the ICH6
when the ICH6 is the initiator and an output from the ICH6 when the
ICH6 is a target. TRDY# is tri-stated from the leading edge of
PLTRST#. TRDY# remains tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by a
target.
STOP# I/O Stop: STOP# indicates that the ICH6, as a target, is requesting the
initiator to stop the current transaction. STOP# causes the ICH6, as an
initiator, to stop the current transaction. STOP# is an output when the
ICH6 is a target and an input when the ICH6 is an initiator.
PAR I/O Calculated/Checked Parity: PAR uses even parity calculated on
36 bits, AD[31:0] plus C/BE[3:0]#. Even parity means that the
ICH6 counts the number of one within the 36 bits plus PAR and the
sum is always even. The ICH6 always calculates PAR on 36 bits
regardless of the valid byte enables. The ICH6 generates PAR for
address and data phases and only guarantees PAR to be valid one PCI
clock after the corresponding address or data phase. The ICH6 drives
and tri-states PAR identically to the AD[31:0] lines except that the
ICH6 delays PAR by exactly one PCI clock. PAR is an output during
the address phase (delayed one clock) for all ICH6 initiated
transactions. PAR is an output during the data phase (delayed one
clock) when the ICH6 is the initiator of a PCI write transaction, and
when it is the target of a read transaction. ICH6 checks parity when it
is the target of a PCI write transaction. If a parity error is detected, the
ICH6 will set the appropriate internal status bits, and has the option to
generate an NMI# or SMI#.

5.2 Intel ICH6-M South Bridge(2)
PCI Interface Signals (Continued)

Name Type Description
PERR# I/O Parity Error: An external PCI device drives PERR# when it receives
data that has a parity error. The ICH6 drives PERR# when it detects a
parity error. The ICH6 can either generate an NMI# or SMI# upon
detecting a parity error (either detected internally or reported via the
PERR# signal).
REQ[0:3]#
REQ[4]# / GPI[40]
REQ[5]# / GPI[1]
REQ[6]# / GPI[0]
I PCI Requests: The ICH6 supports up to 7 masters on the PCI bus.
The REQ[4]#, REQ[5]#, and REQ[6]# pins can instead be used as a
GPI.
GNT[0:3]#
GNT[4]# /
GPO[48]
GNT[5]# /
GPO[17]#
GNT[6]# /
GPO[16]#
O PCI Grants: The ICH6 supports up to 7 masters on the PCI bus. The
GNT[4]# pin can instead be used as a GPO.
Pull-up resistors are not required on these signals. If pull-ups are
used, they should be tied to the Vcc3_3 power rail.
GNT[5]#/GPO[17] and GNT[6]#/GPO[17] both have an internal
pull-up.
NOTE: GNT[6] is sampled at the rising edge of PWROK as a
functional strap. See Section 2.22.1 for more details. There is a weak,
integrated pull-up resistor on the GNT[6] pin.
PCICLK I PCI Clock: This is a 33 MHz clock. PCICLK provides timing for all
transactions on the PCI Bus.
PCIRST# O PCI Reset: This is the Secondary PCI Bus reset signal. It is a logical
OR of the primary interface PLTRST# signal and the state of the
Secondary Bus Reset bit of the Bridge Control register (D30:F0:3Eh,
bit 6).
NOTE: PCIRST# is in the VccSus3_3 well.
PLOCK# I/O PCI Lock: This signal indicates an exclusive bus operation and may
require multiple transactions to complete. ICH6 asserts PLOCK#
when it performs non-exclusive transactions on the PCI bus.
PLOCK# is ignored when PCI masters are granted the bus.
SERR# OD I/O System Error: SERR# can be pulsed active by any PCI device that
detects a system error condition. Upon sampling SERR# active, the
ICH6 has the ability to generate an NMI, SMI#, or interrupt.
PME# OD I PCI Power Management Event: PCI peripherals drive PME# to
wake the system from low-power states S1S5. PME# assertion can
also be enabled to generate an SCI from the S0 state. In some cases
the ICH6 may drive PME# active due to an internal wake event. The
ICH6 will not drive PME# high, but it will be pulled up to VccSus3_3
by an internal pull-up resistor.

5.2 Intel ICH6-M South Bridge(6)
Power Management Interface Signals

Name Type Description
PWRBTN# I Power Button: The Power Button will cause SMI# or SCI to indicate
a system request to go to a sleep state. If the system is already in a
sleep state, this signal will cause a wake event. If PWRBTN# is
pressed for more than 4 seconds, this will cause an unconditional
transition (power button override) to the S5 state. Override will occur
even if the system is in the S1-S4 states. This signal has an internal
pull-up resistor and has an internal 16 ms de-bounce on the input.
RI# I Ring Indicate: This signal is an input from a modem. It can be
enabled as a wake event, and this is preserved across power failures.
SYS_RESET# I System Reset: This pin forces an internal reset after being debounced.
The ICH6 will reset immediately if the SMBus is idle; otherwise, it
will wait up to 25 ms 2 ms for the SMBus to idle before forcing a
reset on the system.
RSMRST# I Resume Well Reset: This signal is used for resetting the resume
power plane logic.
LAN_RST# I LAN Reset: When asserted, the internal LAN controller will be put
into reset. This signal must be asserted for at least 10 ms after the
resume well power (VccSus3_3 and VccSus1_5) is valid. When
de-asserted, this signal is an indication that the resume well power is
stable.
NOTE: LAN_RST# must de-assert at some point to complete ICH6
power up sequencing.
WAKE# I PCI Express* Wake Event: Sideband wake signal on PCI Express
asserted by components requesting wakeup.
MCH_SYNC# I MCH SYNC: This input is internally ANDed with the PWROK
input.

monitored by devices with memory that need to switch from normal
refresh to suspend refresh mode. It can also be used by other
peripherals as an indication that they should isolate their outputs that
may be going to powered-off planes. This signal is called LPCPD# on
the LPC I/F.
SUSCLK O Suspend Clock: This clock is an output of the RTC generator circuit
to use by other chips for refresh clock.
VRMPWRGD I VRM Power Good: This should be connected to be the processors
VRM Power Good signifying the VRM is stable. This signal is
internally ANDed with the PWROK input.
Power Management Interface Signals (Continued)

Name Type Description
PLTRST# O Platform Reset: The ICH6 asserts PLTRST# to reset devices on the
platform (e.g., SIO, FWH, LAN, (G)MCH, IDE, TPM, etc.). The
ICH6 asserts PLTRST# during power-up and when S/W initiates a
hard reset sequence through the Reset Control register (I/O Register
CF9h). The ICH6 drives PLTRST# inactive a minimum of 1 ms after
both PWROK and VRMPWRGD are driven high. The ICH6 drives
PLTRST# active a minimum of 1 ms when initiated through the Reset
Control register (I/O Register CF9h).
NOTE: PLTRST# is in the VccSus3_3 well.
THRM# I Thermal Alarm: This is an active low signal generated by external
hardware to generate an SMI# or SCI.
THRMTRIP# I Thermal Trip: When low, this signal indicates that a thermal trip
from the processor occurred, and the ICH6 will immediately
transition to a S5 state. The ICH6 will not wait for the processor stop
grant cycle since the processor has overheated.
SLP_S3# O S3 Sleep Control: SLP_S3# is for power plane control. This signal
shuts off power to all non-critical systems when in S3 (Suspend To
RAM), S4 (Suspend to Disk), or S5 (Soft Off) states.
SLP_S4# O S4 Sleep Control: SLP_S4# is for power plane control. This signal
shuts power to all non-critical systems when in the S4 (Suspend to
Disk) or S5 (Soft Off) state.
NOTE: This pin must be used to control the DRAM power in order
to use the ICH6s DRAM power-cycling feature. Refer to Chapter
5.14.10.2 for details.
SLP_S5# O S5 Sleep Control: SLP_S5# is for power plane control. This signal is
used to shut power off to all non-critical systems when in the S5 (Soft
Off) states.
PWROK I Power OK: When asserted, PWROK is an indication to the ICH6
that core power has been stable for at least 99 ms and PCICLK has
been stable for at least 1 mS. An exception to this rule is if the system
is in S3 HOT , in which PWROK may or may notstay asserted even
though PCICLK may be inactive. PWROK can be driven
asynchronously. When PWROK is negated, the ICH6 asserts
PLTRST#.
NOTE: PWROK must de-assert for a minimum of three RTC clock
periods in order for the ICH6 to fully reset the power and properly
generate the PLTRST# output

Processor Interface Signals

Name Type Description
A20M# O Mask A20: A20M# will go active based on either setting the
appropriate bit in the Port 92h register, or based on the A20GATE
input being active.
CPUSLP# O Processor Sleep: This signal puts the processor into a state that saves
substantial power compared to Stop-Grant state. However, during that
time, no snoops occur.
The Intel ICH6 can optionally assert the CPUSLP# signal when
going to the S1 state, and will always assert it when going to C3 or
C4.
FERR# I Numeric Coprocessor Error: This signal is tied to the coprocessor
error signal on the processor. FERR# is only used if the ICH6
coprocessor error reporting function is enabled in the OIC.CEN
register (Chipset ConfigurationRegisters:Offset 31FFh: bit 1). If
FERR# is asserted, the ICH6 generates an internal IRQ13 to its
interrupt controller unit. It is also used to gate the IGNNE# signal to
ensure that IGNNE# is not asserted to the processor unless FERR# is
active. FERR# requires an external weak pull-up to ensure a high
level when the coprocessor error function is disabled.
NOTE: FERR# can be used in some states for notification by the
processor of pending interrupt events. This functionality is
independent of the OIC register bit setting.
IGNNE# O Ignore Numeric Error: This signal is connected to the ignore error
pin on the processor. IGNNE# is only used if the ICH6 coprocessor
error reporting function is enabled in the OIC.CEN register (Chipset
Configuration Registers:Offset 31FFh: bit 1). If FERR# is active,
indicating a coprocessor error, a write to the Coprocessor Error
register (I/O register F0h) causes the IGNNE# to be asserted.
IGNNE# remains asserted until FERR# is negated. If FERR# is not
asserted when the Coprocessor Error register is written, the IGNNE#
signal is not asserted.
INIT# O Initialization: INIT# is asserted by the ICH6 for 16 PCI clocks to
reset the processor.
ICH6 can be configured to support processor Built In Self Test
(BIST).
INIT3_3V# O Initialization 3.3 V: This is the identical 3.3 V copy of INIT#
intended for Firmware Hub.
INTR O Processor Interrupt: INTR is asserted by the ICH6 to signal the
processor that an interrupt request is pending and needs to be
serviced. It is an asynchronous output and normally driven low.
Processor Interface Signals (Continued)

Name Type Description
NMI O Non-Maskable Interrupt: NMI is used to force a non-Maskable
interrupt to the processor. The ICH6 can generate an NMI when
either SERR# is asserted or IOCHK# goes active via the SERIRQ#
stream. The processor detects an NMI when it detects a rising edge on
NMI. NMI is reset by setting the corresponding NMI source
enable/disable bit in the NMI Status and Control register (I/O
Register 61h).
SMI# O System Management Interrupt: SMI# is an active low output
synchronous to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH6 in response to one
of many enabled hardware or software events.
STPCLK# O Stop Clock Request: STPCLK# is an active low output synchronous
to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH6 in response to one of many
hardware or software events.
When the processor samples STPCLK# asserted, it responds by
stopping its internal clock.
RCIN# I Keyboard Controller Reset CPU: The keyboard controller can
generate INIT# to the processor. This saves the external OR gate with
the ICH6s other sources of INIT#. When the ICH6 detects the
assertion of this signal, INIT# is generated for 16 PCI clocks.
NOTE: The ICH6 will ignore RCIN# assertion during transitions to
the S1, S3, S4, and S5 states.
A20GATE I A20 Gate: A20GATE is from the keyboard controller. The signal
acts as an alternative method to force the A20M# signal active. It
saves the external OR gate needed with various other chipsets.
CPUPWRGD /
GPO[49]

GPI[1:0]3 I 5 V Core This signal is fixed as input only and can be used
instead as PCI REQ[6:5]#.
NOTES:
1.All inputs are sticky. The status bit remains set as long as the input was asserted for two
clocks.GPIs are sampled on PCI clocks in S0/S1. GPIs are sampled on RTC clocks in S3/S4/S5.
2.Some GPIOs exist in the VccSus3_3 power plane. Care must be taken to make sure GPIO
signals are not driven high into powered-down planes. Some ICH6 GPIOs may be connected to
pins on devices that exist in the core well. If these GPIOs are outputs, there is a danger that a
loss of core power (PWROK low) or a Power Button Override event will result in the Intel
ICH6 driving a pin to a logic 1 to another device that is powered down.
3.GPI[15:0] can be configured to cause a SMI# or SCI. Note that a GPI can be routed to either
an SMI# or an SCI, but not both.

AC 97/Intel High Definition Audio Link Signals
NOTES:
1. Some signals have integrated pull-ups or pull-downs. Consult table in Section 3.1 for
details.
2. Intel High Definition Audio mode is selected through D30:F1:40h, bit 0: AZ/AC97#. This
bit selects the mode of the shared Intel High Definition Audio/AC 97 signals. When set to 0
AC 97 mode is selected. When set to 1 Intel High Definition Audio mode is selected. The bit
defaults to 0 (AC 97 mode).
Name Type Description

7. Maintenance Diagnostics
7.1 Introduction
Each time the computer is turned on, the system BIOS runs a series of internal checks on the hardware. This power-
on self test (post) allows the computer to detect problems as early as the power-on stage. Error messages of post can
alert you to the problems of your computer.
If an error is detected during these tests, you will see an error message displayed on the screen. If the error occurs
before the display is initialized, then the screen cannot display the error message. Error codes or system beeps are
used to identify a post error that occurs when the screen is not available.
The value for the diagnostic port is written at the beginning of the test. Therefore, if the test failed, the user can
determine where the problem occurred by reading the last value written to the port-80H by the debug card plug at
MINI PCI slot.
