Theory of Operation—Intel
3.4.2.11

Clocks

The Intel
solution. The CK-SSCD solution offers improved EMI performance by spreading the
radiated clock emissions over a wider spectrum than a single frequency. This is
accomplished while controlling the clock frequency deviation such that system
performance is not compromised. The FSB frequency is determined from decoding the
processor BSEL[2:0] pin settings.
3.4.2.12

Real Time Clock

An on-board battery at BT5H1 maintains power to the real time clock (RTC) when in a
mechanical off state. A CR2032 battery is installed on the Intel
Chipset development kit.
3.4.2.13

Thermal Monitoring

The processor has a thermal diode for temperature monitoring. The SMC thermal
monitoring device will throttle the processor if it becomes hot. If the temperature of the
processor rises too high, the SMC will alternately blink the CAPS lock and NUM lock
LEDs on the board, and the board will shut down.

System I/O and Connector Summary

The evaluation board provides extensive I/O capability in the form of internal
connectors and headers as detailed by the following list. For detailed information on
these connectors and headers, please refer to
• One (x16) PCI Express* connector
• Two (x1) PCI Express* connectors
• Two PCI connectors
• One IDE connector (supports two drives)
• Two SATA connectors
• Two USB ports via front panel header (J8J1)
• One LVDS video connector
