I2C_DAT
B34
General purpose I²C port data I/O line
SPKR
B32
Output for audio enunciator, the "speaker" in PC-AT systems
1
WDT
B27
Output indicating that a watchdog time-out event has occurred
FAN_PWMOUT
2
B101
Fan speed control
Uses the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique to control the fan's RPM
FAN_TACHIN
B102
Fan tachometer input
2
TPM_PP
A96
Physical Presence pin of Trusted Platform Module (TPM); active high
TPM chip has an internal pull-down. This signal is used to indicate Physical
Presence to the TPM
Note
This signal has special functionality during the reset process. It may bootstrap some basic important functions of the module. For more
1.
information refer to section 8.2 "Bootstrap Signals".
2.
Protected on the module by a series schotty diode. Therefore, pull-down resistor is required on the carrier board for proper logic level.
