5.1.7 C0DCLKDIS—Channel A DRAM Clock Disable
MMIO Range: MCHBAR
Address Offset: 10Ch
Default Value: 00h
Access: R/W
Size: 8 bits
This register can be used to disable the system memory clock signals to each DIMM slot. This can
significantly reduce EMI and Power concerns for clocks that go to unpopulated DIMMs. Clocks
should be enabled based on whether a slot is populated, and what kind of DIMM is present.

5 R/W
0b
DIMM Clock Gate Enable Pair 5
0 = Tri-state the corresponding clock pair.
1 = Enable the corresponding clock pair.
4 R/W
0b
DIMM Clock Gate Enable Pair 4
0 = Tri-state the corresponding clock pair.
1 = Enable the corresponding clock pair.
3 R/W
0b
DIMM Clock Gate Enable Pair 3
0 = Tri-state the corresponding clock pair.
1 = Enable the corresponding clock pair.
2 R/W
0b
DIMM Clock Gate Enable Pair 2
0 = Tri-state the corresponding clock pair.
1 = Enable the corresponding clock pair.
1 R/W
0b
DIMM Clock Gate Enable Pair 1
0 = Tri-state the corresponding clock pair.
1 = Enable the corresponding clock pair.
0 R/W
0b
DIMM Clock Gate Enable Pair 0
0 = Tri-state the corresponding clock pair.
1 = Enable the corresponding clock pair.
Note: Since there are multiple clock signals assigned to each Rank of a DIMM, it is important to clarify
exactly which Rank width field affects which clock signal:
Channel Rank Clocks Affected
0 0 or 1 SCLK_A[2:0]/ SCLK_A[2:0]#
0 2 or 3 SCLK_A[5:3]/ SCLK_A[5:3]#
1 0 or 1 SCLK_B[2:0]/ SCLK_B[2:0]#
1 2 or 3 SCLK_B[5:3]/ SCLK_B[5:3]#
