PECI Interface
60 Thermal/Mechanical Specifications and Design Guide
Note: The 2-byte parameter field and 4-byte read data field defined in Figure 7-8 are sent in
standard PECI ordering with LSB first and MSB last.
7.1.2.4.2 Supported Responses
The typical client response is a passing FCS, a passing Completion Code and valid data.
Under some conditions, the client’s response will indicate a failure.

CC: 0x40 Command passed, data is valid.
CC: 0x80
Response timeout. The processor is not able to generate the required response in a timely
fashion. Retry is appropriate.
CC: 0x81
Response timeout. The processor is not able to allocate resources for servicing this
command at this time. Retry is appropriate.
CC: 0x90 Unknown/Invalid Request
CC: 0x91
PECI control hardware, firmware or associated logic error. The processor is unable to
process the request.
