I/O Subsystem

Intel® Server Board SDS2

4.6.2BIOS Flash

The SDS2 Server Board incorporates a Fairchild* 29LV008B 8Mbit Flash ROM. The flash device is connected through the X-bus of the CSB5.

4.7Interrupt Routing

The SDS2 Server Board interrupt architecture implements both PC-compatible PIC mode and APIC mode interrupts through the use of the integrated I/O APICs in the CSB5.

4.7.1Legacy Interrupt Routing

For PC-compatible mode, the CSB5 provides two 82C59-compatible interrupt controllers. The two controllers are cascaded with interrupt levels 8-15 entering on level 2 of the primary interrupt controller (standard PC configuration). A single interrupt signal is presented to the processors, to which only one processor will respond for servicing. The CSB5 contains configuration registers that define which interrupt source logically maps to I/O APIC INTx pins.

Interrupts, both PCI and IRQ types, are handled by the CSB5. The CSB5 then translates these to the APIC bus. The numbers in the table below indicate the CSB5 PCI interrupt input pin to which the associated device interrupt (INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD) is connected. The CSB5’s I/O APIC exists on the I/O APIC bus with the processors.
