ICH2 SMBus Master Controller
The ICH2 provides a processor-to-SMBus controller. All access performed to the SMBus is done through the ICH2 SMBus interface. Typically, the processor has access to all the devices connected to the SMBus. Each DIMM socket is connected to the SMBus. The 168-pin DIMM modules include a 256 byte I2C Serial EEPROM. The first 128 bytes contain general information, including the DRAM chips manufacturers name, DIMM speed rating, DIMM type, etc. The second 128 bytes of the Serial EEPROM can be used to store data online. Each RIMM socket is connected to the SMBus. The 168-pin RIMM modules include a 256 byte I2C Serial EEPROM. The first 128 bytes contain general information, including the DRAM chips manufacturers name, RIMM speed rating, RIMM type, etc. The second 128 bytes of the Serial EEPROM can be used to store data online. The ADM1024 chip is a hardware monitoring sensor dedicated to the processor temperature. This chip uses the thermal diodes integrated into each processor cartridge and makes the temperature information available through the SMBus. It also monitors processor power supply voltages. This is the non-volatile memory which holds the default values for the CMOS memory (in the event of battery failure).When installing a new system board, the Serial EEPROM will have a blank serial number field. This will be detected automatically by the BIOS, which will then prompt the user for the serial number which is printed on the identification label on the back of the PC Workstation. The computer uses 16KBytes of Serial EEPROM implemented within two chips. Serial EEPROM is ROM in which one byte at a time can be returned to its unprogrammed state by the application of appropriate electrical signals. In effect, it can be made to behave like very slow, non-volatile RAM. It is used for storing the tatoo string, the serial number, and the parameter settings for the Setup program as well as MaxiLife firmware.

LM75 Temperature Sensor
The LM75 temperature sensor and alarm are located on the system board. The sensor is used to measure the temperature in various areas of the system board. This information is used to regulate fans.
HP MaxiLife Hardware Monitoring Chip
MaxiLife is a hardware monitoring chip which is resident on the system board. Its responsibility includes On/Off and reset control, status panel management (Lock button, LEDs), hardware monitoring (temperature and voltage), early diagnostics (CPU, memory, PLLs, boot start), run-time diagnostics (CPU errors), fan speed regulation, and other miscellaneous functions (such as special OK/FAIL symbols based on a smiling face). The integrated microprocessor includes a Synopsys cell based on Dallas 8052 equivalent, a 2 KB boot ROM, 256 bytes of data RAM, an I2C cell, an Analog-to-Digital (ADC) with 5 entries, and an additional glue logic for interrupt control, fan regulation, and a status panel control. MaxiLife downloads its code in 96 milliseconds from an I2C serial EEPROM. The total firmware (MaxiLife 8051-code, running in RAM) size is 14 KB. As it exceeds the 2 KB program RAM space, a paging mechanism will swap code as it is required, based on a 512 byte buffer. The first 2 KB pages of firmware code is critical because it controls the initial power on/reset to boot the system. This initial page is checked with a null-checksum test and the presence of MaxiLife markers (located just below the 2 KB limit). MaxiLife is not accessible in I/O space or memory space of the system platform, but only through the SMBUS (which is a sub-set of the I2C bus), via the ICH2. Its I2C cell may operate either in Slave or Master mode, switched by firmware, or automatically in the event of Arbitration loss. As a monitoring chip, MaxiLife reports critical errors at start-up, and is therefore powered by Vstandby (3.3V) power. For MaxiLife to work, the PC Workstation must be connected to a grounded outlet. This enables the PC Workstations hardware monitoring chip to be active, even if the system has been powered off.

The integrated floppy disk controller (FDC) supports any combination of two of the following: tape drives, 3.5-inch flexible disk drives, 5.25-inch flexible disk drives. It is software and register-compatible with the 82077AA, and 100% IBM-compatible. It has an A and B drive-swapping capability and a non-burst DMA option. The computer has an 8042-based keyboard and mouse controller. The connector pin layouts are shown on page 122.

2 System Board FirmWare Hub (82802AB)

FirmWare Hub (82802AB)

The FWH (also known as flash memory) is connected to the LPC bus. It contains 4 Mbit (512 kB) of flash memory. The hardware features of the FWH include: a Random Number Generator (RNG), five General Purpose Inputs (GPI), register-based block locking and hardware-based locking. An integrated combination of logic features and non-volatile memory enables better protection for the storage and update of system code and data, adds flexibility through additional GPIs, and allows for quicker introduction of security/manageability features. The following table shows the available FWH features.
Feature Platform Compatibility: Enables security-enhanced platform infrastructure. Part of the Intel I840 chipset. FirmWare Hub Interface Mode: Five signal communication interface supporting x8 reads and writes. Register-based read and write protection for each code/data storage blocks. Five additional GPIs for system design and flexibility. A hardware RNG (Random Number Generator). Integrated CUI (Command User Interface) for requesting access to locking, programming and erasing options. It also handles requests for data residing in status, ID and block lock registers. Operates with 33 MHz PCI clock and 3.3 V input/output. A/A Mux Interface/Mode, supporting: 11-pin multiplexed address and 8-pin data I/O interface. Fast on-board or out-of-system programming. Industry Standard Packages: 40L TSOP or 32L PLCC. Feature Two Configurable Interfaces: FirmWare Hub interface for system operation. Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) interface. 4 Mbits of Flash Memory for system code/data non-volatile storage: Symmetrically blocked, 64 Kbyte memory sections. Automated byte program and block erase through an integrated WSM (Write State Machine).
Power Supply Specifications: Vcc: 3.3 V +/- 0.3 V. Vpp: 3.3 V and 12 V for fast programming, 80 ns. Case Temperature Operating Range.
The FWH includes two hardware interfaces:
FirmWare Hub interface. Address/Address Multiplexed (A/A Mux) interface.
The IC (Interface Configuration) pin on the FWH provides the control between these interfaces. The interface mode needs to be selected prior to power-up or before return from reset (RST# or INIT# low to high transition). The FWH interface works with the ICH2 during system operation, while the A/A Mux interface is designed as a programming interface for component pre-programming. An internal CUI (Command User Interface) serves as the control center between the FWH and A/A Mux interfaces, and internal operation of the non-volatile memory. A valid command sequence written to the CUI initiates device automation. An internal WSM (Write State Machine) automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for block erase and program operations.

2 System Board System Bus

System Bus

The system bus of the Pentium 4 processor is implemented in the GTL (Gunning Transceiver Logic)+ technology. This technology features opendrain signal drivers that are pulled up through resistors at bus extremities to the operating voltage of the processor core. These resistors also act as bus terminators, and are integrated in the processor and in the 82850 MCH.
Address (32) Control Data (64) AGP 4x Bus (133 MHz (1 GB/sec data transfer rate) 850 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) 82850
HUB LINK 8 (266 MB/s data transfer rate) I/O Controller Hub (ICH) 82801AA
The supported operating frequency of the GTL+ bus for the Pentium 4 is 100 MHz. The width of the data bus is 64 bits, while the width of the address is 32 bits. Data bus transfers occur at four times the system bus, at 400 MHz. Along with the operating frequencies, the processor voltage is set automatically. The control signals of the system bus allow the implementation of a split transaction bus protocol. This allows the Pentium 4 processor to send its request (for example, for the contents of a given memory address) and then to release the bus, rather than waiting for the result, thereby allowing it to
accept another request. The MCH, as target device, then requests the bus again when it is ready to respond, and sends the requested data packet. Up to four transactions are allowed to be outstanding at any given time.
The Pentium 4 processor has several features that enhance performance:
Data bus frequency of 400 MHz. Dual Independent Bus architecture, which combines a dedicated 64-bit L2 cache bus (supporting 256 KB) plus a 64-bit system bus that enables multiple simultaneous transactions. MMX2 technology, which gives higher performance for media, communications and 3D applications. Dynamic execution to speed up software performance. Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) for enhanced floating point and 3D application performance. Uses multiple low-power states, such as AutoHALT, Stop-Grant, Sleep and Deep Sleep to conserve power during idle times.
The Pentium 4 processor is packaged in a pin grid array (PGA) that fits into a PGA423 socket (423-pin Zero Insertion Force or ZIF socket).

Processor Clock

The 100 MHz System Bus clock is provided by a PLL. The processor core clock is derived from the System Bus by applying a ratio. This ratio is fixed in the processor. The processor then applies this ratio to the System bus clock to generate its CPU core frequency. There is a 14.318 MHz crystal oscillator on the system board. This frequency is multiplied to 133 MHz by a phase-locked loop. This is further scaled by an internal clock multiplier within the processor. The bus frequency and the processor voltage are set automatically.

SCSI Adapter Cards

Adaptec 29160 SCSI PCI Adapter Card
Your Personal Workstation is equipped with an Ultra 160/m SCSI card. The Adaptec SCSI card has a system bus rate of 533 MB/Sec, a SCSI data transfer rate of 160 MB/Sec and the capability of supporting up to 15 peripheral devices. The Adaptec SCSI card is able to connect to Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI devices (for example, Ultra2 and Ultra 160/m) and Single-Ended (SE) SCSI devices (for example, Ultra SCSI, Fast SCSI, SCSI-1, etc.). Examples of single ended devices include: DAT drives, Scanners, and older hard disk drives.
Connector 2 Connector 3 Connector 4

Connector 1

Here is a description of connectors one through four. Connector 1 Connector 2 Connector 3 Connector 4 68-pin external connector for LVD SCSI devices 68-pin internal connector for LVD SCSI devices 68-pin internal connector for Wide SE SCSI devices 50-pin internal connector for Narrow SE SCSI devices

While SE SCSI devices will work when attached to connector 1 or 2, this will limit all devices to single-ended mode. For example, this would result in the Ultra 160/m hard disk drive performance being limited from 160 MB/second to 40 MB/second. Therefore, it is recommended that you connect only LVD
SCSI devices to connectors 1 and 2. For information on how to connect internal an external SCSI devices, please read your Users Guide.

SCSI Cable Information

The intended use of the external SCSI connector is to connect Low-Voltage Differential SCSI devices to your Personal Workstation. This section provides you with SCSI cable information that is important for the correct operation of your external SCSI device. NOTE The total length of the external SCSI cable should not exceed 10 meters (approximately 32.81 feet) and there must be at least eight inches of cable separating each device. Contact you dealer to order shielded HP SCSI cables to connect external SCSI accessories. CAUTION:
Low-voltage differential SCSI is very sensitive to noise, and therefore, all cables on the SCSI bus must be exceptionally high quality cables. Examples of these are given in the following table. Please make sure that any external hard disk enclosures are rated for low-voltage differential SCSI use. Cable Number C2978A C2979A C2911B C2924B C2361A C2362A C2363A C2365A

Additional SCSI Card Features
The Adaptec SCSI card provides double transition clocking, cyclical redundancy check, and domain validation.
Feature Double Transition Clocking Description Changes the digital protocol to use both edges of the SCSI request/acknowledge signal clock. It allows designers to use Ultra2 cables. The signal in an Ultra2 SCSI runs a 40 MHz, while data runs at only 20 MHz or 80 MB/second on a 16-bit wide bus. Using both edges of the same signal at 40 MHz the data rate can be increased to 40 MB/second or 160 MB/second on a 16-bit wide bus. Cyclical Redundancy Check Provides extra data protection for marginal cables that are connected to external devices. The Ultra3 SCSI cyclical redundancy check detects all: Domain Validation Single error bits Double bit errors Odd number of errors Burst errors up to 32-bits long

3 Troubleshooting Your HP PC Workstation Pre-Boot Diagnostics

Pre-Boot Diagnostics

When your PC starts up, the BIOS performs Pre-Boot Diagnostics and a Power-on Self Test (POST) to test your hardware configuration for any problems. If a problem is detected during the POST, an error is displayed on your PCs monitor. If, however, your PC is unable to display an error message (for example, when you graphics controller has failed), the Pre-Boot Diagnostics will emit an audio signal. The Pre-Boot Diagnostics emits an audio sequence with two kinds of sounds. The first is an unusual series of tones that indicate an anomaly has been detected. This series of sounds also contains an electronic signal that can be sent through a telephone line to an authorized helpdesk or HP Support, if necessary. This signal cannot be interpreted by the human ear. However, it can be decoded by helpdesk equipment to extract the PC model and serial number. The second type of sound is a series of long beeps that indicate a particular error. If you hear a series of beeps, you should count them as this will help you detect the cause of the problem.

The diagnostics utility will automatically detect the complete hardware configuration of your system before any tests are performed.
Producing a Support Ticket
To produce a complete record of your systems configuration and test results, you will need to create a Support Ticket. This is a simple text file that contains essential information and is designed to assist your local or HP support agent. If you are using HP e-DiagTools from the hard disk drive and your PC is connected to a LAN using TCP/IP (Internet) protocols, you have the option of e-mailing your Support Ticket from within e-DiagTools. If you are using HP e-DiagTools from a CD-ROM, you can create the Support Ticket file on either the hard disk drive or floppy disk drive. You can also view the Support Ticket file using the Support Ticket Viewer program. The Support Ticket file can be easily be sent, via email or fax.

You can also use the System Info feature of HP MaxiLife to get this information (refer to Other Features on page 61). Did the problem occur after changes were made to the BIOS using the Setup program? This is to check for interrupt conflicts. You can find IRQs by running e-DiagTools (see page 65). Operating System Are you using the original operating system software that came preloaded on your PC? If not, what is the operating system version? Any operating system-generated error messages? Any errors during boot (Power-On Self Test)? This test checks all installed components. Select Settings Control Panel from the Start menu, then click on the System icon. The operating system version is displayed under System. Please note down exact text of error message. Any POST errors will be displayed on your monitor screen or signalled by beep codes.
Any BIOS parameter changes? Make a list of slots and interrupts used by additional cards (for example, LAN, sound and SCSI)
