Pentium III processor (CPUID=068xh), Celeron processor (CPUID=068xh), and future 0.13 micron socket 370 processors. When implemented, the Intel 815 chipset platform for use with the Universal Socket 370 can detect which processor is present in the socket and function accordingly.
1.3.3.6 Manageability The Intel 815 chipset platform integrates several functions designed to manage the system and lower the system’s total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system. These system management functions are designed to report errors, diagnose the system, and recover from system lock-ups, without the aid of an external microcontroller.
By implementing a split design, the audio codec can be on board and the modem codec can be placed on a riser. Intel is developing an AC’97 digital link connector. With a single integrated codec, or AMC, both audio and modem can be routed to a connector near the rear panel where the external ports can be located.

12V supply. Thus, it is necessary to gate PWROK to the ICH from the power supply while the Intel CK-815 is given sufficient time for the clocks to become stable. The amount of time required is a minimum 20 ms.
Gating of PWROK to ICH With power being gated to the Intel CK-815 by the signal VTTPWRGD12, it is important that the clocks to the ICH are stable before the power supply asserts PWROK to the ICH. As the clocking power gating circuitry relies on the 12V supply, there is no guarantee that these conditions will be met.

Processor Connector Breakout It is strongly recommended that AGTL/AGTL+ signals do not traverse multiple signal layers. Intel recommends breaking out all signals from the connector on the same layer. If routing is tight, break out from the connector on the opposite routing layer over a ground reference and cross over to main signal layer near the processor connector.

Minimize the cross-sectional area of the traces. This can be done by means of narrower traces and/or by using thinner copper, but the trade-off for this smaller cross-sectional area is higher trace resistivity, which can reduce the falling-edge noise margin because of the I*R loss along the trace. ® Intel 815 Chipset Platform Design Guide...

For the detailed AGP interface functionality (e.g., protocols, rules, signaling mechanisms) refer to the latest AGP Interface Specification, Revision 2.0, which can be obtained from http://www.agpforum.org. This design guide focuses only on specific Intel 815 chipset platform recommendations and covers both standard add-in card AGP and down AGP solutions.

To maximize add-in flexibility, it is highly advisable to implement the universal connector in a system based on the Intel 815 chipset platform. All add-in cards are either 3.3V or 1.5V cards. The 4X transfers at 3.3V are not allowed due to timings.
AGP interface detailed in previous sections, the customer can choose to populate the AGP slot in a system based on the Intel 815 chipset platform with either an AGP graphics card, with a GPA card to enable the highest-possible internal graphics performance, or with nothing to get the lowest-cost internal graphics solution.
The capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the GMCH LRCLK pin.

370-pin socket, or pull-up resistors on the motherboard. While SEL0 is a pure input to a Intel CK-815-compliant clock driver, REF0 is also the 14 MHz output that drives the ICH and other devices on the platform. In addition to sampling BSEL[1:0] at reset, Intel CK-815-compliant clock drivers are configured by the BIOS via a two-wire interface to drive SDRAM clock outputs at either 100 MHz (default) or 133 MHz (if all system requirements are met).

For systems providing functionality with future 0.13 micron socket 370 processors, special handling of wake events is required. When a wake event is triggered, the GMCH and the Intel CK- 815 must not sample BSEL[1:0] until the signal VTTPWRGD is asserted. This is handled by...

Derived power rail Dual power rail Figure 71 shows a power delivery architecture example for a system based on the Intel 815 chipset platform. This power delivery architecture supports the “Instantly Available PC Design Guidelines” via the suspend-to-RAM (STR) state. During STR, only the necessary devices are powered.
Total max. power dissipation for GMCH = 4 W. Total max. power dissipation for AC'97 = 15 W. In addition to the power planes provided by the ATX power supply, an instantly available Intel 815 chipset platform (using Suspend-to-RAM) requires six power planes to be generated on the board.
