Signals Reference
A.1.39

IGNNE# (I)

IGNNE# is ignored in the Itanium 2 processor system environment.
A.1.40

INIT# (I)

The Initialization (INIT#) signal triggers an unmasked interrupt to the processor. INIT# is usually
used to break into hanging or idle processor states. Semantics required for platform compatibility
are supplied in the PAL firmware interrupt service routine.
A.1.41

INT (I)

INT is the 8259-compatible Interrupt Request signal which indicates that an external interrupt has
been generated. The interrupt is maskable. The processor vectors to the interrupt handler after the
current instruction execution has been completed. An interrupt acknowledge transaction is
generated by the processor to obtain the interrupt vector from the interrupt controller.
The LINT[0] pin can be software configured to be used either as the INT signal or another local
interrupt.
A.1.42 IP[1:0]# (I)
The ID Parity (IP[1:0]#) signals are driven on the second clock of the Deferred Phase by the
deferring agent. IP0# protects the IDa[9:0]# and IDS# signals for the first clock, and IP[1]#
protects the IDb[9:2, 0]# and IDS# signals on the second clock.
A.1.43

LEN[2:0]# (I/O)

The Data Length (LEN[2:0]#) signals are transmitted using REQb[2:0]# signals by the requesting
agent in the second clock of Request Phase. LEN[2:0]# defines the length of the data transfer
requested by the requesting agent as shown in
signals together define the length of the actual data transfer.
