System Bus Routing Guidelines
5.2.2 RESET# Topology
Since the processor does not contain on-die termination for the RESET# input signal, these
additional layout guidelines for the RESET# signal are required. The baseboard trace length from
Processor 0's pin to the termination resistor should be 0 to 1 inch.Follow the same routing
guidelines given for common clock signals listed above in this same section.
5.3 Routing Guidelines for Asynchronous GTL+ and
Miscellaneous Signals
