Motherboard Components This section describes all the Sun Blade 100 system components. Most of the devices are connected through the PCI interface that is supported by the CPU. The CPU has one 32-bit 33/66 MHz PCI bus. The PCI bus from the CPU is 3.3V. All the PCI devices on the motherboard are 3.3V devices.
C.2.3 SouthBridge ASIC The Sun Blade 100 system uses the SouthBridge ASIC which is a highly integrated system I/O chip set in a 328-pin, ball grid array (BGA) package. It has the following integrations:...
C.2.3.2 PCI IDE Controller There are two IDE channels within the IDE controller to support up to four devices. Each channel can operate at DMA mode 4 speed independently. The target devices are one or two UltraDMA/66 capable hard drives and a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive.
SMBus Interface The SMBus host controller provides the communication channel with other serial devices through SMBus protocol. In the Sun Blade 100 system, this SMBus is connected to the four SDRAM DIMM modules, so that on system power-up OpenBoot PROM can access the information regarding each DIMM type and configuration stored inside the serial EEPROM on each DIMM module.
OpenHCI Host Controller 1.5 and 12 Mb/s transfer rate Four host ports The Sun Blade 100 uses two USB ports for the keyboard and mouse. See Appendix D for details. C.2.5.3 IEEE 1394 The Sun Blade 100 provides a dual IEEE-1394 interface for faster asynchronous peripheral devices of transfer rate up to 400Mb/s.
Smart Card Interface Note – Although the smart card reader is physically configured in the Sun Blade 100 workstation at introduction, the driver support necessary to make the reader functional is not available in this Solaris release. The smart card reader driver support will be made available in a future Solaris release.

This device has both functions integrated plus the self-contained battery.
Clocking C.4.1 Clock Generation There are four clock domains in Sun Blade 100. The domains are CPU, SDRAM, PCI, and miscellaneous clocks. All the clocks in those four domains are generated from clock synthesizers or dedicated crystals on the motherboard except SDRAM clocks, which are generated by the CPU.

The Sun Blade 100 is Energy Star compliant. The Sun Blade 100 uses the Tier2, Guideline B of EPA’s 3.0 MOU. This means that when Sun Blade 100 is in a Power Managed state the maximum power consumption will be 24 Watts or less.
C.9.1 Energy Star The Sun Blade 100 motherboard will follow the guidelines set up by the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star program. The current MOU is revision 3.0. Refer to: http://www.epa.gov/appdstar/esoe/moureq.html The current Energy Star requirement for computers with power supplies that are from 0 to 200W is 30W when in power-saving mode.
