NIC Connector and Status LEDs

The 82550 drives LEDs on the network interface connector to indicate link/activity on the LAN and
10-Mbps or 100-Mbps operation.
The green LED indicates a network connection when lighted solidly and TX/RX activity
when blinking.
The amber LED indicates 100-Mbps a network connection when lighted solidly and TX/RX
activity when blinking.

CSB5 South Bridge (PCI-to-LPC Bridge, IDE, USB)

The CSB5 is a multi-function PCI device, housed in a 256-pin BGA device, providing PCI-to-LPC
bridge, PCI IDE interface, PCI USB controller, and power management controller. Each function
within the CSB5 has its own set of configuration registers. Once configured, each appears to the
system as a distinct hardware controller sharing the same PCI bus interface.
In the SDS2 Server Board implementation, the primary role of the CSB5' is to provide the
gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and features. The SDS2 uses the following CSB5
features:

PCI bus interface

LPC bus interface
IDE interface, with Ultra DMA 100 capability
Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface
PC-compatible timer/counter and DMA controllers
APIC and 8259 interrupt controller
Power management
General purpose I/O
Following are descriptions of how each supported feature is implemented in SDS2.
4.5.1 PCI Bus Interface
The CSB5 fully implements a 32-bit PCI master/slave interface, in accordance with the PCI
Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. On the SDS2 Server Board, the PCI interface operates at
33 MHz, using the 5 V signaling environment.
4.5.2

PCI Bus Master IDE Interface

The CSB5 acts as a PCI-based Fast IDE controller that supports programmed I/O transfers and
bus master IDE transfers. The CSB5 supports two IDE channels, supporting two drives each
(drives 0 and 1). The FAB 5 (PBA A58285-502) SDS2 Server Board supports two IDE channels
through the standard 40-pin (2x20) connector. Note FAB 4 boards (PBA A58285-402 and –403)
supported only one IDE channel.
The SDS2 IDE interface supports the following features:
