The breakout of the RSL signals is also critical because it will impact the 1.8V MCH power

delivery. RSL signals around the hub interface need to be routed on the top layer to maximize the

1.8V core and RAC power delivery. Follow the MCH Rambus technology breakout shown in the

following figures.
