4.4Hardware Initialization

An Intel® Xeon™ processor system based on Intel E7501 MCH is initialized in the following manner.

1.When power is applied, after receiving RST_PWRGD_PS from the power supply, the BMC provides resets using the RST_P6_PWRGOOD signal. The ICH3-S asserts PCIRST_L to MCH, P64H2, and other PCI devices. The MCH then asserts RST_CPURST_L to reset the processor(s).

2.The MCH is initialized, with its internal registers set to default values. Before

RST_CPURST_L is deasserted, the MCH asserts BREQ0_L. Processor(s) in the system determine which host bus agents they are, Agent 0 or Agent 3, based on whether their BREQ0_L or BREQ1_L is asserted. This determines bus arbitration priority and order.

3.After the processor(s) in the system determines which processor will be the BSP, the non-BSP processor becomes an application processor and idles, waiting for a Startup Inter Processor Interrupt (SIPI).

4.The BSP begins by fetching the first instruction from the reset vector.

5.The Intel® E7501 chipset registers are updated to reflect memory configuration. DIMM is sized and initialized.

6.All PCI and ISA I/O subsystems are initialized and prepared for booting.
