Lid Switch  
Figure 1-1  
Lid Switch  
When you close the display lid, the computer saves all data either to the hard disk or to memory,  
depending on the When Lid Is Closed setting (see section 3.4.1). When all data is saved, the  
computer turns itself off. When you reopen the lid, the computer retrieves your data and resumes  
where you left off.

aware machines without cables. For example, you can transfer data between two IR-capable  
computers, or send data to an IR-aware printer without using a cable.  
The infrared port is IrDA-compliant, and can transfer data at speeds of up to 4 megabits per second  
(Mbps) at a distance of up to one meter.  
To use the infrared port, position two IR-aware devices  
such that their IR ports are no more than one meter  
apart and offset no more than 15 degrees.  
When the two computers are in position, simply begin the data transfer as you normally would. See  
your file transfer software for details.

1.6.7 Power Management  
Power Management in this design is aimed toward the conservation of power on the device and  
system level when the devices or system is not in use. This implies that if any device is detected as  
not active for a sustained period of time, the device will be brought to some lower power state as  
soon as practicable.  
With the exception of thermal management, if a device has a demand upon it, full performance  
and bandwidth will be given to that device for as long as the user demands it. Power management  
should not cause the user to sacrifice performance or functionality in order to get longer battery life.  
The longer battery life should be obtained through managing resources not in use.  
Pathological cases of measuring CPU speed or trying to periodically check for reaction time of  
specific peripherals can detect the presence of power management. However, in general, since  
the device I/O is trapped and the device managed in SMI, the power management of devices  
should be invisible to the user and the application.  
Thermal management is the only overriding concern to the power management architecture. By  
definition, thermal management only comes into play when the resources of the computer are used  
in such a way as to accumulate heat and operate many devices at maximum bandwidth to create a  
thermal problem inside the unit. This thermal problem indicates a danger of damaging  
components due to excessively high operating temperatures. Hence, in order to maintain a safe  
operating environment, there may be occasions where we have to sacrifice performance in order to  
achieve operational safety.  
Heuristic power management is designed to operate and adapt to the user while the user is using it.  
It is the plug and play equivalent for power management. There are no entries in BIOS Setup  
which are required to be set by the user in order to optimize the computers battery life or operation.  
The only BIOS Setup entries are for condition information for suspend/resume operations. Normal  
operations and power management are done automatically. (see chapter 3 for details).  
Since the power management is implemented by linking with APM  
interface closely, the APM function in Win95 or Win3.1 must be  
enabled and set to advanced level for optimum power management  
and the driver that installed in system must be Acer authorized and  
approved.

Component activities in power saving mode  
·
Hard disk  
The hard disk is fully power managed. This means that when the hard disk is not in use, the  
hard disk is powered off. The following pins are dedicated toward the management of power  
on the hard disk.  
1. HDD power enable pinY15(PX3_HDPON). This pin turns the power on/off for the hard  
disk only.  
2. HDD reset [pinW14(PX3_HDRST#) of PIIX4]. This pin provides the reset to the drive  
when the drive is newly powered up. The reset pin is asserted when the drive is first  
powered up, then the reset is removed after the drive is powered up and before the  
interface is enabled.  
·
CD-ROM  
The CD-ROM and the hard disk are both IDE devices. They share the same controller. The  
following pins are dedicated toward the management of power on the CD-ROM.  
1. CD-ROM buffer enable [pin-M3 of U21 PX3-FDDBEN of PIIX4]. The CD buffer enable  
separates the CD-ROM from the IDE controller. This buffer must be disabled before the  
CD-ROM is turned off. The buffer is re-enabled after the CD-ROM is turned on and  
brought out of reset.  
2. CD-ROM power control [pin-T14 of U21(PX3_CD/FDPON) of PIIX4]. The power control  
pin is used to turn the CD-ROM unit off or on. This pin is shared as a power on/off pin for  
the floppy disk as well.  
If either the internal or external floppy or the CD-ROM is active,  
then this control pin must be asserted on.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3. CD-ROM Reset [pin-U13 of U21(PX3_CDRST#) of PIIX4]. The reset pin is used to assert  
the hard reset needed for the CD-ROM during power up. The reset pin is asserted before  
CD-ROM power up and is deasserted after CD-ROM power up and before the buffer is  
enabled.  
·
Floppy  
The floppy has two components involved in the process. The floppy drive and the controller  
imbedded in the 87338 super I/O chip. The FDC enable/disabled function is controlled by  
87338 chip. In power saving mode, there are following condition happened to floppy drive:  
1. External pin tri-state. Enabled whenever the floppy is turned off. This control signal is  
same to CD-ROM buffer enable pin[pin-M3 of U21(PX3_FDDBEN) of PIIX4], please see  
CD-ROM portion for details.  
2. PLL disabled. Disabled whenever the floppy and both serial channels are inactive or  
disabled.  
3. FDC power disable. Disables the active decode of the floppy unit. This control signal is  
same to CD-ROM power control[pin-T14 of U21(PX3_CD/FDPON) of PIIX4], please see  
CD-ROM portion for details.  
·
·
Video  
The video controller has two interfaces for controlling power consumption. The sleep mode is  
controlled by software and is performed by BIOS calls. The suspend operation is controlled by  
a PX3_VDPD signal (pin-N1 of PIIX4). The video timer is not controlled or retriggered by  
video activity. Instead, the timer is retriggered by PS/2 mouse and keyboard activity.  
Serial port  
The serial port is a UART1 and is contained within the 87368 super I/O chip. The UART1  
operates off of a 14 MHz clock. The serial port also has a transceiver, a MAX211. Therefore,  
there are several steps to the power conservation of the serial port as below:  
1. Disable the UART1 decode in the 87338 chip.  
2. Tri-state the UART1 output pins.  
3. Assert the Power Down pin[pin M4(PX3_SPPD#) of PIIX4] on the MAX3243 chip.  
The MAX3243 pin25-PX3-SPPD# of MAX3243 chip will still pass  
through the Ring Indicate signal even while in the power down  
mode(if the Resume On Modem Ring in BIOS Setup is set to  
enabled). .  
4. Disable the 14MHz clock (If the floppy and the SIR are also disabled).  
If the 14MHz is disabled through the 87336 power down mode, then  
all serial and floppy functions will fail.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Recovery from power down is the opposite procedure.  
·
SIR (UART)  
The FIR port is basically UART2. The UART operates off of a 14MHz clock. The IR port has a  
DA converter. The UART2 disable control circuit is within the 87338 chip.  
1. Tri-state the UART2 output pins.  
2. Disable the 14MHz clock (If the floppy and the serial port are also disabled).  
If the 14MHz is disabled through the National power down mode,  
then all serial and floppy functions will fail.  
Recovery from power down is the opposite procedure.  
·
Parallel port  
Since there are no clock operations on the parallel port, the requirement to power down this  
area of the 87338 chip are less critical. Also, if the floppy is operated through the parallel port,  
the parallel port must be enabled to allow operation to continue.  
1. Disable the parallel port decode.

Modem

of the modem chips. Once powered down, the modem chip set has no means of recovery  
except through full software initialization.

CPU  
The CPU clock. The clock to the CPU can be physically stopped. The chip is static, so the  
current state is retained. During a clock stop state, the CPU is stopped and the internal cache  
and external bus signals are inoperative. Therefore, any bus master or DMA activity is halted  
as well.  
CPU thermal alarm. Thermal alarm is signaled by the assertion of the one control pin [pin4 of  
U7(PT3_ATFZNT#) from MMO module], will trigger a lower speed operation through clock  
throttling while the CPU temperature is higher than 80°C, shut down the system while higher  
than 95°C. The system returned to normal condition while the CPU temperature is lower to  
75°C.  
System  
The system can also be put into a low power state. However, this state can only be performed  
after the individually power managed components have achieved their low power state. The  
state where the system is put into lower power mode is termed static suspend (suspend-to-  
memory).  
System thermal alarm. System thermal rating is obtained by the a thermal sensor aside  
charger and signaled by the pin-64(SM5_THERM_SYS) of SMC. Full charge to battery is only  
available when the system temperature is less than 56°C while trickle charge higher than  
58°C. System shutdown will be automatically executed while temperature is higher than 85°C.  
1.6.7.3  
Suspend  
There are two forms of suspend and resume on the notebook, static suspend(suspend-to-memory)  
and zero-volt suspend(suspend-to-disk). Zero-volt suspend is, as the name implies, an OFF  
condition. The entire computer state is saved to a disk file and the computer is turned off. In static  
suspend, all components are placed into an idle state and the clocks are stopped to the entire  
machine, except for the 32 kHz clock for memory refresh.  
In either case, all separate components in the system are put into their lowest power state at the  
start of either suspend process.  
1. Devices turned off. The HDD(except for suspend-to-disk since the file goes there), CD-ROM,  
floppy are turned off at the start of any suspend.  
2. Devices brought to a low power state. The audio, serial port transceiver (MAX213), FIR,  
keyboard controller, PCMCIA controller chip will be put into a low power state instantly through  
a pin asserting or prematurely expiring the device timer.  
3. Devices zero-clocked. Since the remainder of the devices (video, CPU, IDE controller, ISA  
bus, 87338’s devices (serial and floppy)) are, by design, static devices, their lowest power  
states are achieved by removing the clock to the device.  
The very act of going into a suspend-to-memory means that the enable pin to the clock generator  
chip is deasserted, removing all but the 32 kHz signal from the board. This excludes, however, the  
clocks dedicated to the internal modem. They will remained powered and oscillating.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
For suspend-to-disk, all devices are read, saved to local memory and the local memory, video  
memory are saved to a disk file which is created by SLEEP MANAGER utility. The machine is  
then commanded to an off state.  
·
Resume events for zero-volt suspend(suspend-to-disk)  
The only resume event for zero-volt suspend is the raising of the lid of the computer. This  
electronically enables the power to the rest of the machine.  
·
Resume events for static suspend (suspend-to-memory)  
1.  
Resume on schedule. In BIOS Setup, this time field can be enabled then set to any  
value. It is possible to set it for a date and time in the past. In this case, the unit will  
resume at the next occurrence of the specified time, date ignorant. If a proper future  
date is specified, then the resume will only happen long enough to evaluate the date  
and the machine will re-suspend. After a successful resume has taken place, the  
resume on schedule field will automatically disable. . Enabling of this field will disable  
the suspend-to-disk function, except for battery very low. The auto-disable of resume  
on schedule still allows the unit to suspend to disk at the next occurrence of a suspend  
condition with the lid closed.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Lid switch. If the suspend-to-disk option is used, then the lid switch will turn the unit on,  
reboot and then resume to the application at the end of POST. If the suspend-to-  
memory option is in place, or a suspend-to-disk block is present, then the lid switch  
opening will resume the machine.  
Keystroke. Any key use on the internal keyboard will wake up the system from static  
suspend. In addition, a keystroke from an external keyboard on the primary PS/2 port  
will also wake the system up. Mouse motion from any source will not wake the system  
up.  
Battery very low. The SMC will wake the SMI if the battery reaches a very low condition  
during static suspend.

2.2  
Intel PIIX4  
PIIX4 is a multi-function PCI device that integrates many system-level functions.  
PCI to ISA/EIO Bridge  
PIIX4 is compatible with the PCI Rev 2.1 specification, as well as the IEEE 996 specification for the  
ISA (AT) bus. On PCI, PIIX4 operates as a master for various internal modules, such as the USB  
controller, DMA controller, IDE bus master controller, distributed DMA masters, and on behalf of  
ISA masters. PIIX4 operates as a slave for its internal registers or for cycles that are passed to the  
ISA or EIO buses. All internal registers are positively decoded.  
PIIX4 can be configured for a full ISA bus or a subset of the ISA bus called the Extended IO (EIO)  
bus. The use of the EIO bus allows unused signals to be configured as general purpose inputs and  
outputs. PIIX4 can directly drive up to five ISA slots without external data or address buffering. It  
also provides byte-swap logic, I/O recovery support, wait-state generation, and SYSCLK  
generation. X-Bus chip selects are provided for Keyboard Controller, BIOS, Real Time Clock, a  
second microcontroller, as well as two programmable chip selects.  
PIIX4 can be configured as either a subtractive decode PCI to ISA bridge or as a positive decode  
bridge. This gives a system designer the option of placing another subtractive decode bridge in the  
system (e.g., an Intel 380FB Dock Set).  
IDE Interface (Bus Master capability and synchronous DMA Mode)  
The fast IDE interface supports up to four IDE devices providing an interface for IDE hard disks  
and CD ROMs.  
Each IDE device can have independent timings. The IDE interface supports PIO IDE transfers up  
to 14 Mbytes/sec and Bus Master IDE transfers up to 33 Mbytes/sec. It does not consume any ISA  
DMA resources. The IDE interface integrates 16x32-bit buffers for optimal transfers.  
PIIX4’s IDE system contains two independent IDE signal channels. They can be electrically isolated  
independently, allowing for the implementation of a “glueless” Swap Bay. They can be configured  
to the standard primary and secondary channels (four devices) or primary drive 0 and primary drive  
1 channels (two devices). This allows flexibility in system design and device power management.  
Compatibility Modules (DMA Controller, Timer/Counters, Interrupt Controller)  
The DMA controller incorporates the logic of two 82C37 DMA controllers, with seven independently  
programmable channels. Channels [0:3] are hardwired to 8-bit, count-by-byte transfers, and  
channels [5:7] are hardwired to 16-bit, count-by-word transfers. Any two of the seven DMA  
channels can be programmed to support fast Type-F transfers. The DMA controller also generates  
the ISA refresh cycles.  
The DMA controller supports two separate methods for handling legacy DMA via the PCI bus. The  
PC/PCI protocol allows PCI-based peripherals to initiate DMA cycles by encoding requests and  
grants via three PC/PCI REQ#/GNT# pairs. The second method, Distributed DMA, allows reads  
and writes to 82C37 registers to be distributed to other PCI devices. The two methods can be  
enabled concurrently. The serial interrupt scheme typically associated with Distributed DMA is also  
supported.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The timer/counter block contains three counters that are equivalent in function to those found in  
one 82C54 programmable interval timer. These three counters are combined to provide the system  
timer function, refresh request, and speaker tone. The 14.31818-MHz oscillator input provides the  
clock source for these three counters.  
PIIX4 provides an ISA-Compatible interrupt controller that incorporates the functionality of two  
82C59 interrupt controllers. The two interrupt controllers are cascaded so that 14 external and two  
internal interrupts are possible. In addition, PIIX4 supports a serial interrupt scheme. PIIX4 provides  
full support for the use of an external IO APIC.  
All of the registers in these modules can be read and restored. This is required to save and restore  
system state after power has been removed and restored to the circuit.  
Enhanced Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller  
The PIIX4 USB controller provides enhanced support for the Universal Host Controller Interface  
(UHCI). This includes support that allows legacy software to use a USB-based keyboard and  
mouse.  
RTC  
PIIX4 contains a Motorola* MC146818A-compatible real-time clock with 256 bytes of battery-  
backed RAM. The real-time clock performs two key functions: keeping track of the time of day and  
storing system data, even when the system is powered down. The RTC operates on a 32.768-kHz  
crystal and a separate 3V lithium battery that provides up to 7 years of protection.  
The RTC also supports two lockable memory ranges. By setting bits in the configuration space, two  
8-byte ranges can be locked to read and write accesses. This prevents unauthorized reading of  
passwords or other system security information.  
The RTC also supports a date alarm, that allows for scheduling a wake up event up to 30 days in  
advance, rather than just 24 hours in advance.  
GPIO and Chip Selects  
Various general purpose inputs and outputs are provided for custom system design. The number of  
inputs and outputs varies depending on PIIX4 configuration. Two programmable chip selects are  
provided which allows the designer to place devices on the X-Bus without the need for external  
decode logic.  
Pentium® and Pentium® II Processor Interface  
The PIIX4 CPU interface allows connection to all Pentium and Pentium II processors. The Sleep  
mode for the Pentium II processors is also supported.

Enhanced Power Management  
PIIX4’s power management functions include enhanced clock control, local and global monitoring  
support for 14 individual devices, and various low-power (suspend) states, such as Power-On  
Suspend, Suspend-to-DRAM, and Suspend-to-Disk. A hardware-based thermal management circuit  
permits software-independent entrance to low-power states. PIIX4 has dedicated pins to monitor  
various external events (e.g., interfaces to a notebook lid, suspend/resume button, battery low  
indicators, etc.). PIIX4 contains full support for the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface  
(ACPI) Specification.  
System Management Bus (SMBus)  
PIIX4 contains an SMBus Host interface that allows the CPU to communicate with SMBus slaves  
and an SMBus Slave interface that allows external masters to activate power management events.  
Configurability  
PIIX4 provides a wide range of system configuration options. This includes full 16-bit I/O decode on  
internal modules, dynamic disable on all the internal modules, various peripheral decode options,  
and many options on system configuration.

The 82371AB PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator (PIIX4) is a multi-function PCI device implementing a PCI-  
to-ISA bridge function, a PCI IDE function, a Universal Serial Bus host/hub function, and an  
Enhanced Power Management function. As a PCI-to-ISA bridge, PIIX4 integrates many common  
I/O functions found in ISA-based PC systems—two 82C37 DMA Controllers, two 82C59 Interrupt  
Controllers, an 82C54 Timer/Counter, and a Real Time Clock. In addition to compatible transfers,  
each DMA channel supports Type F transfers. PIIX4 also contains full support for both PC/PCI and  
Distributed DMA protocols implementing PCI-based DMA. The Interrupt Controller has Edge or  
Level sensitive programmable inputs and fully supports the use of an external I/O Advanced  
Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) and Serial Interrupts. Chip select decoding is provided  
for BIOS, Real Time Clock, Keyboard Controller, second external microcontroller, as well as two  
Programmable Chip Selects. PIIX4 provides full Plug and Play compatibility. PIIX4 can be  
configured as a Subtractive Decode bridge or as a Positive Decode bridge. This allows the use of a  
subtractive decode PCI-to-PCI bridge such as the Intel 380FB PCIset which implements a PCI/ISA  
docking station environment.  
PIIX4 supports two IDE connectors for up to four IDE devices providing an interface for IDE hard  
disks and CD ROMs. Up to four IDE devices can be supported in Bus Master mode. PIIX4 contains  
support for “Ultra DMA/33” synchronous DMA compatible devices.  
PIIX4 contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Host Controller that is Universal Host Controller  
Interface (UHCI) compatible. The Host Controller’s root hub has two programmable USB ports.  
PIIX4 supports Enhanced Power Management, including full Clock Control, Device Management  
for up to 14 devices, and Suspend and Resume logic with Power On Suspend, Suspend to RAM or  
Suspend to Disk. It fully supports Operating System Directed Power Management via the  
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification. PIIX4 integrates both a System  
Management Bus (SMBus) Host and Slave interface for serial communication with other devices.

2.2.4 Pin Descriptions  
This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional  
groups according to their associated interface.  
The “#” symbol at the end of a signal name indicates that the active, or asserted state occurs when  
the signal is at a low voltage level. When “#” is not present after the signal name, the signal is  
asserted when at the high voltage level.  
The terms assertion and negation are used exclusively. This is done to avoid confusion when  
working with a mixture of “active low” and “active high” signal. The term assert, or assertion  
indicates that a signal is active, independent of whether that level is represented by a high or low  
voltage. The term negate, or negation indicates that a signal is inactive.  
Certain signals have different functions, depending on the configuration programmed in the PCI  
configuration space. The signal whose function is being described is in bold font. Some of the  
signals are multiplexed with General Purpose Inputs and Outputs. The default configuration and  
control bits for each are described in Table 1 and Table 2.  
Each output signal description includes the value of the signal During Reset, After Reset, and  
During POS.  
During Reset refers to when the PCIRST# signal is asserted. After Reset is immediately after  
negation of PCIRST# and the signal may change value anytime thereafter. The term High-Z  
means tri-stated. The term Undefined means the signal could be high, low, tri-stated, or in some  
in-between level. Some of the power management signals are reset with the RSMRST# input  
signal. The functionality of these signals during RSMRST# assertion is described in the  
Suspend/Resume and Power Plane Control section.  
The I/O buffer types are shown below:

5V  
Indicates that the output is 3.3V and input is 3.3V receiver with 5V tolerance.  
Indicates 3.3V receiver with 5V tolerance.  
All 3V output signals can drive 5V TTL inputs. Most of the 3V input signals are 5V tolerant. The 3V  
input signals which are powered via the RTC or Suspend power planes should not exceed their  
power supply voltage (see Power Planes chapter for additional information). The open drain (OD)  
CPU interface signals should be pulled up to the CPU interface signal voltage.

PCI BUS INTERFACE  
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 byte address (32  
bits). During subsequent clocks, AD[31:0] contain data. A PIIX4 Bus transaction  
consists of an address phase followed by one or more data phases. Little-endian  
byte ordering is used. AD[7:0] define the least significant byte (LSB) and  
AD[31:24] the most significant byte (MSB). When PIIX4 is a Target, AD[31:0]  
are inputs during the address phase of a transaction. During the following data  
phase(s), PIIX4 may be asked to supply data on AD[31:0] for a PCI read, or  
accept data for a PCI write. As an Initiator, PIIX4 drives a valid address on  
AD[31:2] and 0 on AD[1:0] during the address phase, and drives write or latches  
read data on AD[31:0] during the data phase.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
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]# are used as Byte Enables. The Byte Enables determine which byte  
lanes carry meaningful data. C/BE0# applies to byte 0, C/BE1# to byte 1, etc.  
PIIX4 drives C/BE[3:0]# as an Initiator and monitors C/BE[3:0]# as a Target.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
CLKRUN#  
DEVSEL#  
I/O  
I/O  
CLOCK RUN#. This signal is used to communicate to PCI peripherals that the  
PCI clock will be stopped. Peripherals can assert CLKRUN# to request that the  
PCI clock be restarted or to keep it from stopping. This function follows the  
protocol described in the PCI Mobile Design Guide, Revision 1.0.  
During Reset: Low After Reset: Low During POS: High  
DEVICE SELECT. PIIX4 asserts DEVSEL# to claim a PCI transaction through  
positive decoding or subtractive decoding (if enabled). As an output, PIIX4  
asserts DEVSEL# when it samples IDSEL active in configuration cycles to PIIX4  
configuration registers. PIIX4 also asserts DEVSEL# when an internal PIIX4  
address is decoded or when PIIX4 subtractively or positively decodes a cycle for  
the ISA/EIO bus or IDE device. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates the response to  
a PIIX4 initiated transaction and is also sampled when deciding whether to  
subtractively decode the cycle. DEVSEL# is tri-stated from the leading edge of  
PCIRST#. DEVSEL# remains tri-stated until driven by PIIX4 as a target.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
FRAME#  
I/O  
CYCLE FRAME. FRAME# is driven by the current Initiator to indicate the  
beginning and duration of an access. While FRAME# is asserted data transfers  
continue. When FRAME# is negated the transaction is in the final data phase.  
FRAME# is an input to PIIX4 when it is the Target. FRAME# is an output when  
PIIX4 is the initiator. FRAME# remains tri-stated until driven by PIIX4 as an  
Initiator.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
IDSEL  
I
INITIALIZATION DEVICE SELECT. IDSEL is used as a chip select during PCI  
configuration read and write cycles. PIIX4 samples IDSEL during the address  
phase of a transaction. If IDSEL is sampled active, and the bus command is a  
configuration read or write, PIIX4 responds by asserting DEVSEL# on the next  
cycle.

IRDY#  
I/O  
INITIATOR READY. IRDY# indicates PIIX4’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 PIIX4 has valid data present on  
AD[31:0]. During a read, it indicates PIIX4 is prepared to latch data. IRDY# is an  
input to PIIX4 when PIIX4 is the Target and an output when PIIX4 is an Initiator.  
IRDY# remains tri-stated until driven by PIIX4 as a master.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
PAR  
O
CALCULATED PARITY SIGNAL. PAR is “even” parity and is calculated on 36  
bits; AD[31:0] plus C/BE[3:0]#. “Even” parity means that the number of “1”s  
within the 36 bits plus PAR are counted and the sum is always even. PAR is  
always calculated on 36 bits regardless of the valid byte enables. PAR is  
generated for address and data phases and is only guaranteed to be valid one  
PCI clock after the corresponding address or data phase. PAR is driven and tri-  
stated identically to the AD[31:0] lines except that PAR is delayed by exactly one  
PCI clock. PAR is an output during the address phase (delayed one clock) for all  
PIIX4 initiated transactions. It is also an output during the data phase (delayed  
one clock) when PIIX4 is the Initiator of a PCI write transaction, and when it is  
the Target of a read transaction.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
PCIRST#  
PHOLD#  
O
O
PCI RESET. PIIX4 asserts PCIRST# to reset devices that reside on the PCI bus.  
PIIX4 asserts PCIRST# during power-up and when a hard reset sequence is  
initiated through the RC register. PCIRST# is driven inactive a minimum of 1 ms  
after PWROK is driven active. PCIRST# is driven for a minimum of 1 ms when  
initiated through the RC register. PCIRST# is driven asynchronously relative to  
PCICLK.  
During Reset: Low After Reset: High During POS: High  
PCI HOLD. An active low assertion indicates that PIIX4 desires use of the PCI  
Bus. Once the PCI arbiter has asserted PHLDA# to PIIX4, it may not negate it  
until PHOLD# is negated by PIIX4. PIIX4 implements the passive release  
mechanism by toggling PHOLD# inactive for one PCICLK.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High During POS: High  
PHLDA#  
SERR#  
I
PCI HOLD ACKNOWLEDGE. An active low assertion indicates that PIIX4 has  
been granted use of the PCI Bus. Once PHLDA# is asserted, it cannot be  
negated unless PHOLD# is negated first.  
I/O  
SYSTEM ERROR. SERR# can be pulsed active by any PCI device that detects a  
system error condition. Upon sampling SERR# active, PIIX4 can be  
programmed to generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to the CPU.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
STOP#  
I/O  
STOP. STOP# indicates that PIIX4, as a Target, is requesting an initiator to stop  
the current transaction. As an Initiator, STOP# causes PIIX4 to stop the current  
transaction. STOP# is an output when PIIX4 is a Target and an input when  
PIIX4 is an Initiator. STOP# is tri-stated from the leading edge of PCIRST#.  
STOP# remains tri-stated until driven by PIIX4 as a slave.

TARGET READY. TRDY# indicates PIIX4’s ability 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 PIIX4, as a Target, has place valid data on  
AD[31:0]. During a write, it indicates PIIX4, as a Target is prepared to latch data.  
TRDY# is an input to PIIX4 when PIIX4 is the Initiator and an output when PIIX4  
is a Target. TRDY# is tri-stated from the leading edge of PCIRST#. TRDY#  
remains tri-stated until driven by PIIX4 as a slave.

Note: All of the signals in the host interface are described in the Pentium Processor data sheet. The  
preceding table highlights PIIX4 specific uses of these signals.  
ISA BUS INTERFACE  
AEN  
O
ADDRESS ENABLE. AEN is asserted during DMA cycles to prevent I/O slaves  
from misinterpreting DMA cycles as valid I/O cycles. When negated, AEN  
indicates that an I/O slave may respond to address and I/O commands. When  
asserted, AEN informs I/O resources on the ISA bus that a DMA transfer is  
occurring. This signal is also driven high during PIIX4 initiated refresh cycles.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: Low During POS: Low  
BALE  
O
BUS ADDRESS LATCH ENABLE. BALE is asserted by PIIX4 to indicate that  
the address (SA[19:0], LA[23:17]) and SBHE# signal lines are valid. The  
LA[23:17] address lines are latched on the trailing edge of BALE. BALE remains  
asserted throughout DMA and ISA master cycles.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: Low During POS: Low  
IOCHK#/  
GPI0  
I
I/O CHANNEL CHECK. IOCHK# can be driven by any resource on the ISA bus.  
When asserted, it indicates that a parity or an uncorrectable error has occurred  
for a device or memory on the ISA bus. A NMI will be generated to the CPU if  
the NMI generation is enabled. If the EIO bus is used, this signal becomes a  
general purpose input.  
IOCHRDY  
I/O  
I/O CHANNEL READY. Resources on the ISA Bus negate IOCHRDY to indicate  
that wait states are required to complete the cycle. This signal is normally high.  
IOCHRDY is an input when PIIX4 owns the ISA Bus and the CPU or a PCI agent  
is accessing an ISA slave, or during DMA transfers. IOCHRDY is output when  
an external ISA Bus Master owns the ISA Bus and is accessing DRAM or a  
PIIX4 register. As a PIIX4 output, IOCHRDY is driven inactive (low) from the  
falling edge of the ISA commands. After data is available for an ISA master  
read or PIIX4 latches the data for a write cycle, IOCHRDY is asserted for 70 ns.  
After 70 ns, PIIX4 floats IOCHRDY. The 70 ns includes both the drive time and  
the time it takes PIIX4 to float IOCHRDY. PIIX4 does not drive this signal when  
an ISA Bus master is accessing an ISA Bus slave.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
IOCS16#  
IOR#  
I
16-BIT I/O CHIP SELECT. This signal is driven by I/O devices on the ISA Bus to  
indicate support for 16-bit I/O bus cycles.  
I/O  
I/O READ. IOR# is the command to an ISA I/O slave device that the slave may  
drive data on to the ISA data bus (SD[15:0]). The I/O slave device must hold the  
data valid until after IOR# is negated. IOR# is an output when PIIX4 owns the  
ISA Bus. IOR# is an input when an external ISA master owns the ISA Bus.

Bus.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High During POS: High  
LA[23:17]/  
GPO[7:1]  
ISA LA[23:17]. LA[23:17] address lines allow accesses to physical memory on  
the ISA Bus up to 16 Mbytes. LA[23:17] are outputs when PIIX4 owns the ISA  
Bus. The LA[23:17] lines become inputs whenever an ISA master owns the ISA  
Bus. If the EIO bus is used, these signals become a general purpose output.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: Undefined During POS: Last LA/GPO  
MEMCS16#  
MEMR#  
MEMORY CHIP SELECT 16. MEMCS16# is a decode of LA[23:17] without any  
qualification of the command signal lines. ISA slaves that are 16-bit memory  
devices drive this signal low. PIIX4 ignores MEMCS16# during I/O access cycles  
and refresh cycles. MEMCS16# is an input when PIIX4 owns the ISA Bus. PIIX4  
drives this signal low during ISA master to PCI memory cycles.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
I/O  
MEMORY READ. MEMR# is the command to a memory slave that it may drive  
data onto the ISA data bus. MEMR# is an output when PIIX4 is a master on the  
ISA Bus. MEMR# is an input when an ISA master, other than PIIX4, owns the  
ISA Bus. This signal is also driven by PIIX4 during refresh cycles. For DMA  
cycles, PIIX4, as a master, asserts MEMR#.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High During POS: High

MEMW# is an input when an ISA master, other than PIIX4, owns the ISA Bus.  
For DMA cycles, PIIX4, as a master, asserts MEMW#.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High During POS: High  
REFRESH#  
REFRESH. As an output, REFRESH# is used by PIIX4 to indicate when a  
refresh cycle is in progress. It should be used to enable the SA[7:0] address to  
the row address inputs of all banks of dynamic memory on the ISA Bus. Thus,  
when MEMR# is asserted, the entire expansion bus dynamic memory is  
refreshed. Memory slaves must not drive any data onto the bus during refresh.  
As an output, this signal is driven directly onto the ISA Bus. This signal is an  
output only when PIIX4 DMA refresh controller is a master on the bus  
responding to an internally generated request for refresh. As an input,  
REFRESH# is driven by 16-bit ISA Bus masters to initiate refresh cycles.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High During POS: High  
RSTDRV  
O
RESET DRIVE. PIIX4 asserts RSTDRV to reset devices that reside on the  
ISA/EIO Bus. PIIX4 asserts this signal during a hard reset and during power-up.  
RSTDRV is asserted during power-up and negated after PWROK is driven  
active. RSTDRV is also driven active for a minimum of 1 ms if a hard reset has  
been programmed in the RC register.

depending on the cycle type. When the rising edge of IOR# or MEMR# occurs,  
PIIX4 negates XDIR#. For DMA read cycles from the X-Bus, XDIR# is driven low  
from DACKx# falling and negated from DACKx# rising. At all other times, XDIR#  
is negated high. If the X-Bus not used, then this signal can be programmed to  
be a general purpose output.

DMA ACKNOWLEDGE. The DACK# output lines indicate that a request for  
DMA service has been granted by PIIX4 or that a 16-bit master has been  
granted the bus. The active level (high or low) is programmed via the DMA  
Command Register. These lines should be used to decode the DMA slave device  
with the IOR# or IOW# line to indicate selection. If used to signal acceptance of  
a bus master request, this signal indicates when it is legal to assert MASTER#. If  
the DREQ goes inactive prior to DACK# being asserted, the DACK# signal will  
not be asserted.

INTERRUPT REQUEST 1. IRQ1 is always edge triggered and can not be  
modified by software to level sensitive. A low to high transition on IRQ1 is  
latched by PIIX4. IRQ1 must remain asserted until after the interrupt is  
acknowledged. If the input goes inactive before this time, a default IRQ7 is  
reported in response to the interrupt acknowledge cycle.  
IRQ 3:7, 9:11,  
14:15  
INTERRUPT REQUESTS 3:7, 9:11, 14:15. The IRQ signals provide both  
system board components and ISA Bus I/O devices with a mechanism for  
asynchronously interrupting the CPU. These interrupts may be programmed for  
either an edge sensitive or a high level sensitive assertion mode. Edge sensitive  
is the default configuration. An active IRQ input must remain asserted until after  
the interrupt is acknowledged. If the input goes inactive before this time, a  
default IRQ7 is reported in response to the interrupt acknowledge cycle.  
IRQ8#/

IRQ 12/M  
I
INTERRUPT REQUEST 12. In addition to providing the standard interrupt  
function as described in the pin description for IRQ[3:7,9:11,14:15], this pin can  
also be programmed to provide the mouse interrupt function. When the mouse  
interrupt function is selected, a low to high transition on this signal is latched by  
PIIX4 and an INTR is generated to the CPU as IRQ12. An internal IRQ12  
interrupt continues to be generated until a Reset or an I/O read access to  
address 60h (falling edge of IOR#) is detected.  
PIRQ[A:D]#

PCI  
PROGRAMMABLE INTERRUPT REQUEST. The PIRQx# signals are active  
low, level sensitive, shareable interrupt inputs. They can be individually steered  
to ISA interrupts IRQ [3:7,9:12,14:15]. The USB controller uses PIRQD# as its  
output signal.

ADDRESS 20 MASK. PIIX4 asserts A20M# to the CPU based on combination of  
Port 92 Register, bit 1 (FAST_A20), and A20GATE input signal.  
During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High-Z During POS: High-Z  
CPURST  
OD  
CPU RESET. PIIX4 asserts CPURST to reset the CPU. PIIX4 asserts CPURST  
during power-up and when a hard reset sequence is initiated through the RC  
register. CPURST is driven inactive a minimum of 2 ms after PWROK is driven  
active. CPURST is driven active for a minimum of 2 ms when initiated through  
the RC register. The inactive edge of CPURST is driven synchronously to the  
rising edge of PCICLK. If a hard reset is initiated through the RC register, PIIX4  
resets its internal registers (in both core and suspend wells) to their default state.  
This signal is active high for Pentium processor and active-low for Pentium II  
processor as determined by CONFIG1 signal. For values During Reset, After  
Reset, and During POS, see the Suspend/Resume and Resume Control  
Signaling section.  
FERR#  
I
NUMERIC COPROCESSOR ERROR. This pin functions as a FERR# signal  
supporting coprocessor errors. This signal is tied to the coprocessor error signal  
on the CPU. If FERR# is asserted, PIIX4 generates an internal IRQ13 to its  
interrupt controller unit. PIIX4 then asserts the INT output to the CPU. FERR# is  
also used to gate the IGNNE# signal to ensure that IGNNE# is not asserted to  
the CPU unless FERR# is active.  
IGNNE#  
OD  
IGNORE NUMERIC EXCEPTION. This signal is connected to the ignore  
numeric exception pin on the CPU. IGNNE# is only used if the PIIX4  
coprocessor error reporting function is enabled. If FERR# is active, indicating a  
coprocessor error, a write to the Coprocessor Error 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.

INITIALIZATION. INIT is asserted in response to any one of the following  
conditions. When the System Reset bit in the Reset Control Register is reset to  
0 and the Reset CPU bit toggles from 0 to 1, PIIX4 initiates a soft reset by  
asserting INIT. PIIX4 also asserts INIT if a Shut Down Special cycle is decoded  
on the PCI Bus, if the RCIN# signal is asserted, or if a write occurs to Port 92h,  
bit 0. When asserted, INIT remains asserted for approximately 64 PCI clocks  
before being negated. This signal is active high for Pentium processor and  
active-low for Pentium II processor as determined by CONFIG1 signal.

INTR  
NMI  
OD  
OD  
CPU INTERRUPT. INTR is driven by PIIX4 to signal the CPU that an interrupt  
request is pending and needs to be serviced. It is asynchronous with respect to  
SYSCLK or PCICLK and is always an output. The interrupt controller must be  
programmed following PCIRST# to ensure that INTR is at a known state.  
During Reset: Low After Reset: Low During POS: Low  
NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT. NMI is used to force a nonmaskable interrupt to  
the CPU. PIIX4 generates an NMI when either SERR# or IOCHK# is asserted,  
depending on how the NMI Status and Control Register is programmed. The  
CPU detects an NMI when it detects a rising edge on NMI. After the NMI  
interrupt routine processes the interrupt, the NMI status bits in the NMI Status  
and Control Register are cleared by software. The NMI interrupt routine must  
read this register to determine the source of the interrupt. The NMI is reset by  
setting the corresponding NMI source enable/disable bit in the NMI Status and  
Control Register. To enable NMI interrupts, the two NMI enable/disable bits in  
the register must be set to 0, and the NMI mask bit in the NMI Enable/Disable  
and Real Time Clock Address Register must be set to 0. Upon PCIRST#, this  
signal is driven low.

POWER MANAGEMENT SIGNALS  
BATLOW#/  
GPI9  
I
BATTERY LOW. Indicates that battery power is low. PIIX4 can be programmed  
to prevent a resume operation when the BATLOW# signal is asserted. If the  
Battery Low function is not needed, this pin can be used as a general-purpose  
input.  
CPU_STP#/  
GPO17  
O
CPU CLOCK STOP. Active low control signal to the clock generator used to  
disable the CPU clock outputs. If this function is not needed, then this signal can  
be used as a general-purpose output. For values During Reset, After Reset, and  
During POS, see the Suspend/Resume and Resume Control Signaling section.  
EXTSMI#  
I/OD  
EXTERNAL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT INTERRUPT. EXTSMI# is a falling edge  
triggered input to PIIX4 indicating that an external device is requesting the  
system to enter SMM mode. When enabled, a falling edge on EXTSMI# results  
in the assertion of the SMI# signal to the CPU. EXTSMI# is an asynchronous  
input to PIIX4. However, when the setup and hold times are met, it is only  
required to be asserted for one PCICLK. Once negated EXTSMI# must remain  
negated for at least four PCICLKs to allow the edge detect logic to reset.  
EXTSMI# is asserted by PIIX4 in response to SMI# being activated within the  
Serial IRQ function. An external pull-up should be placed on this signal.  
LID/  
I
LID INPUT. This signal can be used to monitor the opening and closing of the  
display lid of a notebook computer. It can be used to detect both low to high  
transition or a high to low transition and these transitions will generate an SMI#  
if enabled. This input contains logic to perform a 16-ms debounce of the input  
signal. If the LID function is not needed, this pin can be used as a general-  
purpose input.  
GPI10  
PCIREQ[A:D]#

the Hardware Clock Throttling mode. If enabled, the external hardware can force  
the system to enter into Hardware Clock Throttle mode by asserting THRM#.  
This causes PIIX4 to cycle STPCLK# at a preset programmable rate. If this  
function is not needed, this pin can be used as a general-purpose input.  
ZZ/  
O
LOW-POWER MODE FOR L2 CACHE SRAM. This signal is used to power  
down a cache’s data SRAMs when the clock logic places the CPU into the Stop  
Clock. If this function is not needed, this pin can be used as a general-purpose  
output.

GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT AND OUTPUT SIGNALS  
Some of the General Purpose Input and Output signals are multiplexed with other PIIX4 signals. The usage  
is determined by the system configuration. The default pin usage is shown in Table 1 and Table 2. The  
configuration can be selected via the General Configuration register and X-Bus Chip Select register.  
GPI[21:0]  
I
GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS. These input signals can be monitored via the  
GPIREG register located in Function 3 (Power Management) System IO Space  
at address PMBase+30h. See Table 1 for details.  
GPO[30:0]  
O
GENERAL PURPOSE OUTPUTS. These output signals can be controlled via the  
GPIREG register located in Function 3 (Power Management) System IO Space  
at address PMBase+34h.  
If a GPO pin is not multiplexed with another signal or defaults to GPO, then its  
state after reset is the reset condition of the GPOREG register. If the GPO  
defaults to another signal, then it defaults to that signal’s state after reset. The  
GPO pins that default to GPO remain stable after reset. The others may toggle  
due to system boot or power control sequencing after reset prior to their being  
programmed as GPOs. The GPO8 signal is driven low upon removal of power  
from the PIIX4 core power plane. All other GPO signals are invalid (buffers  
powered off).

CONFIG1  
I
I
CONFIGURATION SELECT 1. This input signal is used to select the type of  
microprocessor being used in the system. If CONFIG1=0, the system contains  
a Pentium microprocessor. If CONFIG1=1, the system contains a Pentium II  
microprocessor. It is used to control the polarity of INIT and CPURST signals.  
CONFIG2  
CONFIGURATION SELECT 2. This input signal is used to select the positive or  
subtractive decode of FFFF0000h–FFFFFFFFh memory address range (top  
64 Kbytes). If CONFIG[2]=0, the PIIX4 will positively decode this range. If  
CONFIG[2]=1, the PIIX4 will decode this range with subtractive decode  
timings only. The input value of this pin must be static and may not  
dynamically change during system operations.  
PWROK  
SPKR  
I
POWER OK. When asserted, PWROK is an indication to PIIX4 that power and  
PCICLK have been stable for at least 1 ms. PWROK can be driven  
asynchronously. When PWROK is negated, PIIX4 asserts CPURST,  
PCIRST# and RSTDRV. When PWROK driven active (high), PIIX4 negates  
CPURST, PCIRST#, and RSTDRV.  
O
SPEAKER. The SPKR signal is the output of counter timer 2 and is internally  
“ANDed” with Port 061h bit 1 to provide the Speaker Data Enable. This signal  
drives an external speaker driver device, which in turn drives the ISA system  
speaker.

Philips 87C552 System Management Controller  
The 87C552 Single-Chip 8-Bit Microcontroller is manufactured in an advanced CMOS process and  
is a derivative of the 80C51 microcontroller family. The 87C552 has the same instruction set as the  
80C51.  
The 87C552 contains a 8kx8 a volatile 256x8 read/write data memory, five 8-bit I/O ports, one 8-bit  
input port, two 16-bit timer/event counters (identical to the timers of the 80C51), an additional 16-  
bit timer coupled to capture and compare latches, a 15-source, two-priority-level, nested interrupt  
structure, an 8-input ADC, a dual DAC pulse width modulated interface, two serial interfaces  
(UART and I2C-bus), a “watchdog” timer and on-chip oscillator and timing circuits. For systems that  
require extra capability, the 87C552 can be expanded using standard TTL compatible memories  
and logic.  
In addition, the 87C552 has two software selectable modes of power reduction—idle mode and  
power-down mode. The idle mode freezes the CPU while allowing the RAM, timers, serial ports,  
and interrupt system to continue functioning. The power-down mode saves the RAM contents but  
freezes the oscillator, causing all other chip functions to be inoperative.  
The device also functions as an arithmetic processor having facilities for both binary and BCD  
arithmetic plus bit-handling capabilities. The instruction set consists of over 100 instructions: 49  
one-byte, 45 two-byte, and 17 three-byte. With a 16MHz (24MHz) crystal, 58% of the instructions  
are executed in 0.75ms (0.5ms) and 40% in 1.5ms (1ms). Multiply and divide instructions require  
3ms (2ms).

NS87338VJG Super I/O Controller  
The PC87338VJG is a single chip solution for most commonly used I/O peripherals in ISA, and  
EISA based computers. It incorporates a Floppy Disk Controller(FDC), two full featured UARTs,  
and an IEEE 1284 compatible parallel port Standard PC-AT address decoding for all the  
peripherals and a set of configuration registers are also implemented in this highly integrated  
member of the Super l/O family. Advanced power management features, mixed voltage operation  
and integrated Serial-lnfrared(both IrDA and Sharp) support makes the PC87338 an ideal choice  
for low-power and/or portable personal computer applications.  
The PC87338 FDC uses a high performance digital data separator eliminating the need for any  
external filter components. It is fully compatible with the PC8477 and incorporates a superset of  
DP8473, NEC PD765 and N82077 floppy disk controller functions. All popular 5.25” and 3.5” floppy  
drives, including the 2.88 MB 3.5” floppy drive, are supported. In addition, automatic media sense  
and 2 Mbps tape drive support are provided by the FDC.  
The two UARTs are fully NS16450 and NS16550 compatible. Both ports support MIDI baud rates  
and one port also supports IrDA 1.0 SIR(with data rate of 115.2Kbps), IrDA 1.1 MIR and FIR(with  
data rate of 1.152Mbps and 4.0Mbps respectively) , and Sharp SIR(with data rate of 38.4Kbps  
respectively) compliant signaling protocol.  
The parallel port is fully IEEE 1284 level 2 compatible. The SPP(Standard Parallel Port) is fully  
compatible wit ISA and EISA parallel ports. In addition to the SPP, EPP(Enhanced Parallel Port)  
and ECP(Extended Capabilities Port) modes are supported by the parallel port.  
A set of configuration registers are provided to control the Plug and Play and other various  
functions of the PC87338. These registers are accessed using two 8-bit wide index and data  
registers. The ISA I/O address of the register pair can be relocated using a power-up strapping  
option and the software configuration after power-up.  
When idle, advanced power management features allows the PC87338 to enter extremely low  
power modes under software control. The PC87338 operates at a 3.3/5V power supply.

CL-PD6832: PCI-to-CardBus Host Adapter  
The CL-PD6832 is a single-chip PC Card host adapter solution capable of controlling two fully  
independent CardBus sockets. The chip is compliant with PC Card Standard, PCMCIA 2.1, and  
JEDIA 4.1 and is optimized for use in notebook and handheld computers where reduced form  
factor and low power consumption are critical design objectives.  
The CL-PD6832 chip employs energy-efficient, mixed-voltage technology that can reduce system  
power consumption. The chip also provides both Hardware and Software Suspend modes, which  
stop the internal clock, and an automatic Low-Power Dynamic mode, which stops the clocks on PC  
Card sockets and stops internal clock distribution, thus turning off much of the system power.  
The CL-PD6832 allows easy translation of incoming memory commands to PC Card-16 I/O  
commands for processors with memory commands only. The CL-PD6832 enables such processors  
to use PC Card I/O devices with fully programmable windows. PC applications typically access PC  
Cards through the socket/card-services software interface. To assure full compatibility with existing  
socket/card-services software and PC-card applications, the register set in the CL-PD6832 is a  
superset of the CL-PD6729 register set. The CL-PD6729 register set is accessible through either  
the memory or the I/O space.  
The chip provides fully buffered PC Card interfaces, meaning that no external logic is required for  
buffering signals to/from the interface, and power consumption can be controlled by limiting signal  
transitions on the PC Card bus.

Power Saving Options  
Selecting Power Saving Options on the BIOS Utility main screen presents a screen that allows you  
to adjust several power-saving settings.  
3.4.1 When Lid is Closed  
The computer’s lid switch acts as its power switch: opening the display wakes up the computer,  
closing the display puts it to sleep. The When Lid is Closed setting determines which suspend  
mode the computer enters when the display is closed: Suspend to Disk or Suspend to Memory. The  
default is Suspend to Disk.  
·
·
Suspend to Disk. With this setting, the computer saves all data to the hard disk when you  
close the display. The computer wakes up when you reopen the display.  
Suspend to Memory. With this setting, the computer saves all data to memory when you  
close the display or press the suspend hot key Fn+Esc ( ). The computer wakes up when you  
reopen the display or press any key.  
Note: If an external monitor is connected to the computer, the  
computer will not enter suspend mode if you close the display.  
To enter suspend mode, disconnect the external monitor,  
open and reclose the display.  
Important! Sleep Manager automatically creates a suspend-  
to-disk file when it is run. If the file becomes invalid, suspend-  
to-disk mode becomes unavailable, and the computer  
automatically switches to suspend-to-memory mode.  
3.4.2 Suspend to Disk on Critical Battery  
With this parameter is set to Enabled, the computer enters suspend-to-disk mode when the battery  
becomes critically low. The default setting is Enabled.  
3.4.3 Display Always On  
This parameter lets you specify whether the display is always on or not. When enabled, the screen  
will not blank. To save power, the default setting is Disabled.  
3.4.4 Resume On Modem Rings  
You can set the computer to resume from suspend-to-memory mode upon detection of a specific  
number of modem rings, ranging from 1 to 7. Enabling this option overrides the suspend-to-disk  
function.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
3.4.5 Resume On Schedule  
When this parameter is set to Enabled, the computer resumes from suspend-to-memory mode at  
the specified date and time. Enabling this option overrides the suspend-to-disk function.  
The Resume Date and Resume Time parameters let you set the date and time for the resume  
operation. The date and time fields take the same format as the System Date and Time  
parameters in the System Configuration screen.  
If you set a date and time prior to when the computer enters suspend mode, this field is  
automatically disabled. A successful resume occurring from a date and time match also  
automatically disables this field.

3.5  
System Security  
When you select System Security from the BIOS Utility main screen, a screen appears that allows  
you to set security options.  
Important! If a password is currently present, the system  
prompts you to input the password before entering the  
System Security screen.  
3.5.1 Supervisor and User Passwords  
The supervisor and user passwords both prevent unauthorized access to the computer. When  
these passwords are present, the computer prompts for the user or supervisor password during  
system boot-up and resume from suspend. The supervisor password also gives full access to the  
BIOS setup utility. The user password give limited access.  
Important! The supervisor password must be set prior to  
setting the user password. If you enter the setup utility with  
the user password, you cannot modify the supervisor  
password or certain BIOS settings.

1. Select the desired password (Supervisor or User) to set or edit, and press ® or ¬ . A special  
password prompt resembling a key appears:  
2. Enter a password of up to eight characters. (The characters do not appear on the screen as  
you type them.) After typing your password, press Enter. The same password prompt  
reappears:  
3. Retype your password and press Enter to verify your first entry.  
After you set a password, the computer sets the Supervisor Password (or User Password)  
parameter to Present. The next time you boot up, resume from suspend mode, run the BIOS setup  
utility, or unlock system resources, the password prompt appears and you must type the supervisor  
or user password to continue.  
Important! The system continues to ask for your password  
until you enter the correct password. If you forget your  
password, you must reset the configuration values stored,  
which requires opening the system unit. Contact your dealer  
for assistance.  
To remove a password, select the password you want to remove and press ¬ or ®.

BIOS POST Checkpoints  
This appendix lists the POST checkpoints of the notebook BIOS.  
Table E-1  
POST Checkpoint List  
Checkpoint  
Description  
04h  
· Determines if the current booting procedure is from cold boot (press reset button or  
turn the system on), from warm boot (press Ctrl +Alt +Del).  
Note: At the beginning of POST, port 64 bit 2 (8042 system flag) is read to determine  
whether this POST is caused by a cold or warm boot. If it is a cold boot, a  
complete POST is performed. If it is a warm boot, the chip initialization and  
memory test is eliminated from the POST routine.  
08h  
· Disables Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE), Periodical  
Interrupt Enable (PIE), and Update-ended Interrupt Enable (UIE).  
Note: These interrupts are disabled in order to avoid any mis-action happened during  
the POST routine.  
09h  
0Ah  
10h  
14h  
18h  
1Ch  
· Initializes Intel ChipSet, V3-LS and DRAM type determination(SDRAM or EDO type)  
· Intel drip GPIO pin initialization and base address assignment  
· DMA(8237) testing & initialization  
· System timer (8254) testing & initialization  
· Memory refresh test; refresh occurrence verification (IRQ0)  
· Verifies CMOS shutdown byte, battery and check sum  
Note: Several parts of the POST routine require the system to be in protected mode.  
When returning to real mode from protected mode, the processor is reset,  
therefore POST is re-entered. In order to prevent re-initialization of the system,  
POST reads the shutdown code stored in location 0Fh in CMOS RAM. Then it  
jumps around the initialization procedure to the appropriate entry point.  
· The CMOS shutdown byte verification assures that CMOS 0Fh area is fine to execute  
POST properly.  
· Initializes CMOS default setting  
· Initializes RTC time base  
Note: The RTC has an embedded oscillator that generates 32.768 KHz frequency. To  
initial RTC time base, turn on this oscillator and set a divisor to 32768 so that  
RTC can count time correctly.  
1Eh  
2Ch  
· DRAM sizing  
· Tests 128K base memory  
Note: The 128K base memory area is tested for POST execution. The remaining  
memory area is tested later.  
20h  
· Tests keyboard controller (8041/8042)  
· Determines keyboard type (AT, XT, PS/2) then write default command byte upon KB  
type
