Intel S2600IP User Manual

Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
38 Revision 1.1
Intel order number G34153-003
The Intel
®
C600-A chipset’s SMBus* also implements hardware-based Packet Error Checking
for data robustness and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to dynamically provide address
to all SMBus* devices.
3.3.19 Integrated NVSRAM controller
The Intel
®
C600-A chipset has an integrated NVSRAM controller that supports up to 32KB
external device. The host processor can read and write data to the NVSRAM component.
3.3.20 Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d)
The Intel
®
C600-A chipset provides hardware support for implementation of Intel
®
Virtualization
Technology with Directed I/O (Intel
®
VT-d). Intel VT-d consists of technology components that
support the virtualization of platforms based on Intel
®
Architecture Processors. Intel VT-d
Technology enables multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent
partitions. A partition behaves like a virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection
across partitions. Each partition is allocated its own subset of host physical memory.
3.3.21 JTAG Boundary-Scan
The Intel
®
C600-A chipset adds the industry standard JTAG interface and enables Boundary-
Scan in place of the XOR chains used in previous generations of chipsets. Boundary-Scan can
be used to ensure device connectivity during the board manufacturing process. The JTAG
interface allows system manufacturers to improve efficiency by using industry available tools to
test the Intel
®
C600-A chipset on an assembled board. Since JTAG is a serial interface, it
eliminates the need to create probe points for every pin in an XOR chain. This eases pin
breakout and trace routing and simplifies the interface between the system and a bed-of-nails
tester.
3.3.22 KVM/Serial Over Lan (SOL) Function
These functions support redirection of keyboard, mouse, and text screen to a terminal window
on a remote console. The keyboard, mouse, and text redirection enables the control of the client
machine through the network. Text, mouse, and keyboard redirection allows the remote
machine to control and configure the client by entering BIOS setup. The KVM/SOL function
emulates a standard PCI serial port and redirects the data from the serial port to the
management console using LAN. KVM has additional requirements of internal graphics and
SOL may be used when KVM is not supported.
3.3.23 On-board SAS/SATA Support and Options
The Intel
®
C600 chipset provides storage support by two integrated controllers: AHCI and SCU.
By default the server board will support up to 10 SATA ports: Two white 6Gb/sec SATA ports
from the AHCI controller labeled as “SATA_0” and “SATA_1” and two MINISAS 3Gb/sec SATA/SAS
ports routed from the SCU controller labeled as “SCU0 (PORT0-3) and “SCU1(PORT4-7).
The SCU Port can be configured with the two embedded software RAID options:
 Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2) based on LSI* MegaRAID SW
RAID technology supporting RAID levels 0,1, and 10.
 Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology (RSTe) supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10.
