System Bus Routing Guidelines
System Bus Routing Guidelines 5
This section covers the system bus source synchronous (data, address, and associated strobes) and
common clock signal routing. Table 5-1 lists the signals and their corresponding signal types.
NOTES:
1. These signals do not have on-die termination on the processor. They must be terminated properly on the
motherboard. If the signal is not connected, it must be pulled to the appropriate voltage level through a
1 k
Ω ± 5% resistor.
2. Xeon processors use only BR0# and BR1#.
3. These signals are ‘wired-OR’ signals and may be driven simultaneously by multiple agents. For further details
on how to implement wired-OR signals, refer to the routing guidelines in Section 5.2.1.
4. The value of these pins during the active edge of RESET# determine processor configuration options.
5. SM_VCC has critical power sequencing requirements.
6. Terminations and routing for TAP signals and all debug port signals are found in the
ITP700 Debug Port
