drives. The Super I/O supports two 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data

 

transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.

 

It also provides two high-speed, 16550-compatible serial communication ports (UARTs). Each

 

UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete

 

modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed

 

with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K,

 

500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.

 

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power

 

Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI or

 

SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.

iSCSI Support

 

The X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V motherboard supports the iSCSI Internet Protocol. iSCSI is an IP

 

networking standard used to link and manage data storage, and transfer data across the

 

internet and private intranets through long distance. iSCSI can be used to transmit data over

 

local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet. It can enable

 

location-independent data storage and retrieval.

 

iSCSI allow clients to issue SCSI commands to remote SCSI storage devices and allow data

 

centers to consolidate remote storage devices into storage arrays, giving an illusion of locally-

 

attached disks to host servers. Unlike fiber-optic networks that require special cabling, iSCSI

 

can run over long distance using existing networks.

 

For the X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V motherboard, iSCSI is supported on LAN 1. This can be

 

enabled through the BIOS: Advanced => PCI/PnP Configuration => Onboard LAN1 Option

 

ROM Select.

Overview of the Nuvoton BMC Controller

 

The Nuvoton WPCM150 is a combined Baseboard Management Controller and 2D/VGA-

 

compatible Graphics Core with PCI interface, Virtual Media and Keyboard, and a Keyboard/

 

Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR) module.

 

The WPCM150 interfaces with the host system via a PCI interface to communicate with the

Graphics core. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 for remote keyboard/mouse/virtual media emulation. It also provides an LPC interface to control Super I/O functions and connects to the network via an external Ethernet PHY module or shared NCSI connections.

The Nuvoton BMC communicates with onboard components via six SMBus interfaces, fan control, Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) buses, and General Purpose I/O (T- SGPIO) ports.

It also includes the following features:

– One X-Bus parallel interface for expansion I/O connections

– Three ADC inputs, Analog and Digital Video outputs

– Two serial for boundary scan and debug

There are two different versions of the Nuvoton BMC chip that are used in this product series. The Nuvoton WPCM150 (Manufacturer P/N WPCM150GA0BX5) which includes all of the features above, is the chip installed in the X8SIL motherboard. Another version, the Nuvoton WPCM450 (Manufacturer P/N WPCM450RA0BX) also has all the features as described above plus IPMI 2.0 support. This particular chip is installed in the X8SIL-F and X8SIL-V models. However, IPMI is supported only on the X8SIL-F motherboard.
