11.1Supervision

There are four main components that perform hardware monitoring of voltages and timers. They are listed in the table below.

Table 94.	Hardware Monitoring Components
	Component	Function	Monitors
	Intelligent Platform Management	WDT #1	Commands from the BIOS. If the timer expires
	Controller		(times out), causes a soft or hard reset.
	Heceta-5 (ADM1026)	Analog-to-Digital	Voltages: +1.2 V, +1.5 V, +1.8 V, +3.3 VSB, +5 VSB,
		converter	VCPU, VTTDDR, +2.5 V, +12 V, -12 V, +5 V,
			SuperCap (VBAT), IPMB_V, +1.8 VSB.
	ICH3 (82801CA I/O Controller Hub 3)	WDT #3	The first attempt to fetch an instruction after a power
			failure.
	PLD (2064VE)	WDT #2	Strobes by IPMC firmware. If it expires, it isolates
			MPCBL0001 from the backplane IPMB buses and
			resets the IPMC.

11.2Diagnostics

11.2.1In-Target Probe (ITP)

The ITP connector allows connection of a tool that helps you observe and control the step-by-step execution of your program for debugging hardware and software. Debugging includes finding a hardware or software error and identifying the location and cause of the error so it can be corrected.

Intel continually looks for ways to maximize the development and delivery of mission-critical tools to our internal validation teams and strategic OEM customers. As a result, Intel has put together a third-party vendor program team which works with third-party vendors to develop and deliver specific tools formerly supplied by Intel to internal and external customers.

Intel recommends visiting any of the Website URLs below, and selecting a vendor of your choice to provide in-circuit emulation hardware and software.

•American Arium* currently develops in-circuit emulation and run control tools for Intel processors for use by Intel BIOS and driver teams, Intel manufacturing, and OEM customers.
