ICH8/ICH9—NVM Information Guide
1.5 ICH9 Extended Configuration
Ta b l e 21 lists the contents of the extended configuration area. The base address for this
area is contained in the Extended Configuration Pointer. Each entry is defined as a
Dword, where the LSBs [15:0] occupy the lower-address word.
Table 21. NVM Map - Extended Configuration
Note: The extended configuration space in the NVM must not set the PHY reset bit in PHY
Control register (bit 15). If set, the PHY enters an internal initialization loop.
