Power-On Configuration Options
Several configuration options can be configured by hardware. The Pentium 4 processor
samples the hardware configuration at reset, on the active-to-inactive transition of
RESET#. For specifications on these options, refer to
The sampled information configures the processor for subsequent operation. These
configuration options cannot be changed except by another reset. All resets reconfigure
the processor; for reset purposes, the processor does not distinguish between a
"warm" reset and a "power-on" reset.

NOTES:
1. Asserting this signal during RESET# will select the corresponding option.
2. Address signals not identified in this table as configuration options should not be asserted
during RESET#.

Clock Control and Low Power States
The processor allows the use of AutoHALT and Stop-Grant states to reduce power
consumption by stopping the clock to internal sections of the processor, depending on
each particular state. See
power states.
