Clocks
The clock subsystem generates the clocks for the entire system. The base clock is
synthesized and then divided into various frequencies. The base clocks are then
"fanned-out" and driven to the centerplane by an array of driver chips. Two
processor clocks and one system clock go to each of the board slots on the
centerplane.

Reset logic
The reset logic consists of four subcircuits for controlling the system reset and error
state:
Manual reset
System reset
XIR
System error
