1.2.11 LAN PHY: RTL8100C(L)
The Realtek RTL8100C(L) is a highly integrated, cost-effective single-chip Fast Ethernet controller that provides 32-
bit performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specifications and
IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control. It also supports the Advanced Configuration Power management Interface
(ACPI), PCI power management for modern operating systems that are capable of Operating System Directed Power

Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power management possible. The RTL8100C(L) does not
support CardBus mode as the RTL8139C does. In addition to the ACPI feature, the RTL8100C(L) also supports
remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet, LinkChg, and Microsoft® wake-up frame) in both ACPI and APM
environments. The RTL8100C(L) is capable of performing an internal reset through the application of auxiliary
power. When auxiliary power is applied and the main power remains off, the RTL8100C(L) is ready and waiting for
the Magic Packet or Link Change to wake the system up. Also, the LWAKE pin provides 4 different output signals
including active high, active low, positive pulse, and negative pulse. The versatility of the RTL8100C(L) LWAKE
pin provides motherboards with Wake-On-LAN (WOL) functionality. The RTL8100C(L) also supports Analog
Auto-Power-down, that is, the analog part of the RTL8100C(L) can be shut down temporarily according to
user requirements or when the RTL8100C(L) is in a power down state with the wakeup function disabled. In
addition, when the analog part is shut down and the IsolateB pin is low (i.e. the main power is off), then both the
analog and digital parts stop functioning and the power consumption of the RTL8100C(L) will be negligible.
The RTL8100C(L) also supports an auxiliary power auto-detect function and will auto-configure related bits
of their own PCI power management registers in PCI configuration space.

The ICH6 IDE controller features one set of interface signals that can be enabled, tri-stated or driven low. The IDE
interfaces of the ICH6 can support several types of data transfers:
Programmed I/O (PIO): processor is in control of the data transfer
8237 style DMA: DMA protocol that resembles the DMA on the ISA bus, although it does not use the 8237 in
the ICH6. This protocol off loads the processor from moving data. This allows higher transfer rate of up to

Host Interface Signals
Signal Name Type Description
HADS# I/O
AGTL+ Host Address Strobe:
The system bus owner asserts HADS# to indicate the first of two
cycles of a request phase. The GMCH can also assert this signal for
snoop cycles and interrupt messages.
HBNR# I/O
AGTL+ Host Block Next Request:
Used to block the current request bus owner from issuing a new
request. This signal is used to dynamically control the CPU bus
pipeline depth.
HBPRI# O
AGTL+ Host Bus Priority Request:
The GMCH is the only Priority Agent on the system bus. It asserts
this signal to obtain the ownership of the address bus. This signal has
priority over symmetric bus requests and will cause the current
symmetric owner to stop issuing new transactions unless the
HLOCK# signal was asserted.
HBREQ0# I/O
AGTL+ Host Bus Request 0#:
The GMCH pulls the processor bus HBREQ0# signal low during
HCPURST#. The signal is sampled by the processor on the
active-to-inactive transition of HCPURST#.
HBREQ0# should be tri-stated after the hold time requirement has
been satisfied.
HCPURST# O
AGTL+ Host CPU Reset:
The CPURST# pin is an output from the GMCH. The GMCH asserts
HCPURST# while RSTIN# is asserted and for approximately 1 ms
after RSTIN# is deasserted. HCPURST# allows the processor to
begin execution in a known state.
HDBSY# I/O
AGTL+ Host Data Bus Busy:
Used by the data bus owner to hold the data bus for transfers
requiring more than one cycle.
HDEFER# O
AGTL+ Host Defer:
Signals that the GMCH will terminate the transaction currently being
snooped with either a deferred response or with a retry response.
HDINV[3:0]# I/O
AGTL+ Host Dynamic Bus Inversion:
Driven along with the HFD[63:0]# signals. Indicates if the associated
signals are inverted or not. HDINVF[3:0]# are asserted such that the
number of data bits driven electrically low (low voltage) within the
corresponding 16-bit group never exceeds 8.
HDINV# Data Bits
HDINV[3]# HD[63:48]#
HDINV[2]# HD[47:32]#

HHIT# I/O
AGTL+ Host Hit:
Indicates that a caching agent holds an unmodified version of the
requested line.
Also, driven in conjunction with HITM# by the target to extend the
snoop window.
HHITM# I/O
AGTL+ Host Hit Modified:
Indicates that a caching agent holds a modified version of the
requested line and that this agent assumes responsibility for providing
the line.
Also, driven in conjunction with HIT# to extend the snoop window.

HLOCK# I
AGTL+ Host Lock:
All CPU bus cycles sampled with the assertion of HLOCK# and
HADS#, until the negation of HLOCK# must be atomic, i.e. PCI
Express graphics access to System Memory is allowed when
HLOCK# is asserted by the CPU.
HREQ[4:0]# I/O
AGTL+
2X
Host Request Command:
Defines the attributes of the request. HREQ[4:0]# are transferred at
2x rate.
Asserted by the requesting agent during both halves of the Request
Phase. In the first half the signals define the transaction type to a level
of detail that is sufficient to begin a snoop request. In the second half
the signals carry additional information to define the complete
transaction type.
HTRDY# O
AGTL+ Host Target Ready:
Indicates that the target of the processor transaction is able to enter
the data transfer phase.
HRS[2:0]# O
AGTL+ Host Response Status:
Indicates the type of response according to the following the table:
HRS[2:0]# Response type
000 Idle state
001 Retry response
010 Deferred response
011 Reserved (not driven by GMCH)
100 Hard Failure (not driven by GMCH)
101 No data response
110 Implicit Write back
111 Normal data response
HDPWR# O
AGTL+ Host Data Power:
Used by GMCH to indicate that a data return cycle is pending within
2 HCLK cycles or more. CPU use’s this signal during a read-cycle to
activate the data input buffers in preparation for HDRDY# and the
related data.
HCPUSLP# O
CMOS Host CPU Sleep:
When asserted in the Stop-Grant state, causes the processor to enter
the Sleep state. During Sleep state, the processor stops providing
internal clock signals to all units, leaving only the Phase-Locked
Loop (PLL) still operating. Processors in this state will not recognize
snoops or interrupts.

Reset and Miscellaneous Signals
Signal Name Type Description
RSTIN# I
HVCMOS Reset In:
When asserted this signal will asynchronously reset the GMCH logic.
This signal is connected to the PLT_RST# output of the ICH6-M.
This input has a Schmitt trigger to avoid spurious resets. This input
buffer is 3.3-V tolerant.
PWROK I
HVCMOS Power OK:
When asserted, PWROK is an indication to the GMCH that core
power has been stable for at least 10 µs.
This input buffer is 3.3-V tolerant.
H_BSEL [2:0]
(CFG[2:0]) I
HVCMOS Host Bus Speed Select:
At the deassertion of RSTIN#, the value sampled on these pins
determines the expected frequency of the bus.
External pull-ups are required.
CFG[17:3] I
AGTL+ HW straps:
CFG [17:3] has internal pull up.
NOTE: Not all CFG Balls are supported for Intel 915GMS.
CFG[20:18] I
HVCMOS HW straps:
CFG [20:18] has internal pull down
NOTE: Not all CFG Balls are supported for Intel 915GMS.
BM_BUSY# O
HVCMOS GMCH Integrated Graphics Busy:
Indicates to the ICH that the integrated graphics engine within the
MCH is busy and transitions to low power states should not be
attempted until that is no longer the case.
THRMTRIP# O
COD GMCH Thermal Trip:
Assertion of THERMTRIP# (Thermal Trip) indicates the GMCH
junction temperature has reached a level beyond which damage may
occur. Upon assertion of THERMTRIP#, the GMCH will shut off its
internal clocks (thus halting program execution) in an attempt to
reduce the GMCH core junction temperature. To protect GMCH, its
core voltage (Vcc) must be removed following the assertion of
THERMTRIP#. Once activated, THERMTRIP# remains latched
until RSTIN# is asserted. While the assertion of the RSTIN# signal
will deassert THERMTRIP#, if the GMCH’s junction temperature
remains at or above the trip level, THERMTRIP# will again be
asserted.
EXT_TS[1:0]# I
HVCMOS External Thermal Sensor Input:
If the system temperature reaches a dangerously high value then this
signal can be used to trigger the start of system memory throttling.
NOTE: EXT_TS1# functionality is not supported in 915GMS. A pull
up is required on this pin

PCI Interface Signals
Name Type Description
AD[31:0] I/O PCI Address/Data: AD[31:0] is a multiplexed address and data bus.
During the first clock of a transaction, AD[31:0] contain a physical
address (32 bits). During subsequent clocks, AD[31:0] contain data.
The Intel® ICH6 will drive all 0s on AD[31:0] during the address
phase of all PCI Special Cycles.
C/BE[3:0]# I/O Bus Command and Byte Enables: The command and byte enable
signals are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address
phase of a transaction,
C/BE[3:0]# define the bus command. During the data phase
C/BE[3:0]# define the Byte Enables.
C/BE[3:0]# Command Type
0000b Interrupt Acknowledge
0001b Special Cycle
0010b I/O Read
0011b I/O Write
0110b Memory Read
0111b Memory Write
1010b Configuration Read
1011b Configuration Write
1100b Memory Read Multiple
1110b Memory Read Line
1111b Memory Write and Invalidate
All command encodings not shown are reserved. The ICH6 does not
decode reserved values, and therefore will not respond if a PCI master
generates a cycle using one of the reserved values.
DEVSEL# I/O Device Select: The ICH6 asserts DEVSEL# to claim a PCI
transaction. As an output, the ICH6 asserts DEVSEL# when a PCI
master peripheral attempts an access to an internal ICH6 address or an
address destined DMI (main memory or graphics). As an input,
DEVSEL# indicates the response to an ICH6-initiated transaction on
the PCI bus. DEVSEL# is tri-stated from the leading edge of
PLTRST#. DEVSEL# remains tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by
a target device.
FRAME# I/O Cycle Frame: The current initiator drives FRAME# to indicate the
beginning and duration of a PCI transaction. While the initiator
asserts FRAME#, data transfers continue. When the initiator negates
FRAME#, the transaction is in the final data phase. FRAME# is an
input to the ICH6 when the ICH6 is the target, and FRAME# is an
output from the ICH6 when the ICH6 is the initiator. FRAME#
remains tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by an initiator.

Name Type Description
IRDY# I/O Initiator Ready: IRDY# indicates the ICH6's ability, as an initiator,
to complete the current data phase of the transaction. It is used in
conjunction with TRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock
both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a write,
IRDY# indicates the ICH6 has valid data present on AD[31:0].
During a read, it indicates the ICH6 is prepared to latch data. IRDY#
is an input to the ICH6 when the ICH6 is the target and an output
from the ICH6 when the ICH6 is an initiator. IRDY# remains
tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by an initiator.
TRDY# I/O Target Ready: TRDY# indicates the ICH6's ability as a target to
complete the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is used in
conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is completed when both
TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted.
During a read, TRDY# indicates that the ICH6, as a target, has placed
valid data on AD[31:0]. During a write, TRDY# indicates the ICH6,
as a target is prepared to latch data. TRDY# is an input to the ICH6
when the ICH6 is the initiator and an output from the ICH6 when the
ICH6 is a target. TRDY# is tri-stated from the leading edge of
PLTRST#. TRDY# remains tri-stated by the ICH6 until driven by a
target.
STOP# I/O Stop: STOP# indicates that the ICH6, as a target, is requesting the
initiator to stop the current transaction. STOP# causes the ICH6, as an
initiator, to stop the current transaction. STOP# is an output when the
ICH6 is a target and an input when the ICH6 is an initiator.
PAR I/O Calculated/Checked Parity: PAR uses “even” parity calculated on
36 bits, AD[31:0] plus C/BE[3:0]#. “Even” parity means that the
ICH6 counts the number of one within the 36 bits plus PAR and the
sum is always even. The ICH6 always calculates PAR on 36 bits
regardless of the valid byte enables. The ICH6 generates PAR for
address and data phases and only guarantees PAR to be valid one PCI
clock after the corresponding address or data phase. The ICH6 drives
and tri-states PAR identically to the AD[31:0] lines except that the
ICH6 delays PAR by exactly one PCI clock. PAR is an output during
the address phase (delayed one clock) for all ICH6 initiated
transactions. PAR is an output during the data phase (delayed one
clock) when the ICH6 is the initiator of a PCI write transaction, and
when it is the target of a read transaction. ICH6 checks parity when it
is the target of a PCI write transaction. If a parity error is detected, the
ICH6 will set the appropriate internal status bits, and has the option to
generate an NMI# or SMI#.

wake the system from low-power states S1–S5. PME# assertion can
also be enabled to generate an SCI from the S0 state. In some cases
the ICH6 may drive PME# active due to an internal wake event. The
ICH6 will not drive PME# high, but it will be pulled up to VccSus3_3
by an internal pull-up resistor.

PWRBTN# I Power Button: The Power Button will cause SMI# or SCI to indicate
a system request to go to a sleep state. If the system is already in a
sleep state, this signal will cause a wake event. If PWRBTN# is
pressed for more than 4 seconds, this will cause an unconditional
transition (power button override) to the S5 state. Override will occur
even if the system is in the S1-S4 states. This signal has an internal
pull-up resistor and has an internal 16 ms de-bounce on the input.
RI# I Ring Indicate: This signal is an input from a modem. It can be
enabled as a wake event, and this is preserved across power failures.
SYS_RESET# I System Reset: This pin forces an internal reset after being debounced.
The ICH6 will reset immediately if the SMBus is idle; otherwise, it
will wait up to 25 ms ± 2 ms for the SMBus to idle before forcing a
reset on the system.
RSMRST# I Resume Well Reset: This signal is used for resetting the resume

Power Management Interface Signals (Continued)
Name Type Description
PLTRST# O Platform Reset: The ICH6 asserts PLTRST# to reset devices on the
platform (e.g., SIO, FWH, LAN, (G)MCH, IDE, TPM, etc.). The
ICH6 asserts PLTRST# during power-up and when S/W initiates a
hard reset sequence through the Reset Control register (I/O Register
CF9h). The ICH6 drives PLTRST# inactive a minimum of 1 ms after
both PWROK and VRMPWRGD are driven high. The ICH6 drives
PLTRST# active a minimum of 1 ms when initiated through the Reset
Control register (I/O Register CF9h).
NOTE: PLTRST# is in the VccSus3_3 well.
THRM# I Thermal Alarm: This is an active low signal generated by external
hardware to generate an SMI# or SCI.
THRMTRIP# I Thermal Trip: When low, this signal indicates that a thermal trip
from the processor occurred, and the ICH6 will immediately
transition to a S5 state. The ICH6 will not wait for the processor stop
grant cycle since the processor has overheated.
SLP_S3# O S3 Sleep Control: SLP_S3# is for power plane control. This signal
shuts off power to all non-critical systems when in S3 (Suspend To
RAM), S4 (Suspend to Disk), or S5 (Soft Off) states.
SLP_S4# O S4 Sleep Control: SLP_S4# is for power plane control. This signal
shuts power to all non-critical systems when in the S4 (Suspend to
Disk) or S5 (Soft Off) state.
NOTE: This pin must be used to control the DRAM power in order
to use the ICH6’s DRAM power-cycling feature. Refer to Chapter

SLP_S5# O S5 Sleep Control: SLP_S5# is for
p
ower plane control. This signal is
used to shut power off to all non-critical systems when in the S5 (Soft
Off) states.
PWROK I Power OK: When asserted, PWROK is an indication to the ICH6
that core power has been stable for at least 99 ms and PCICLK has
been stable for at least 1 mS. An exception to this rule is if the system
is in S3 HOT , in which PWROK may or may notstay asserted even
though PCICLK may be inactive. PWROK can be driven
asynchronously. When PWROK is negated, the ICH6 asserts
PLTRST#.
NOTE: PWROK must de-assert for a minimum of three RTC clock
periods in order for the ICH6 to fully reset the power and properly
generate the PLTRST# output

A20M# O Mask A20: A20M# will go active based on either setting the
appropriate bit in the Port 92h register, or based on the A20GATE
input being active.
CPUSLP# O Processor Sleep: This signal puts the processor into a state that saves
substantial power compared to Stop-Grant state. However, during that
time, no snoops occur.
The Intel® ICH6 can optionally assert the CPUSLP# signal when
going to the S1 state, and will always assert it when going to C3 or
C4.
FERR# I Numeric Coprocessor Error: This signal is tied to the coprocessor
error signal on the processor. FERR# is only used if the ICH6
coprocessor error reporting function is enabled in the OIC.CEN
register (Chipset ConfigurationRegisters:Offset 31FFh: bit 1). If
FERR# is asserted, the ICH6 generates an internal IRQ13 to its
interrupt controller unit. It is also used to gate the IGNNE# signal to
ensure that IGNNE# is not asserted to the processor unless FERR# is
active. FERR# requires an external weak pull-up to ensure a high
level when the coprocessor error function is disabled.
NOTE: FERR# can be used in some states for notification by the
processor of pending interrupt events. This functionality is
independent of the OIC register bit setting.
IGNNE# O Ignore Numeric Error: This signal is connected to the ignore error
pin on the processor. IGNNE# is only used if the ICH6 coprocessor
error reporting function is enabled in the OIC.CEN register (Chipset
Configuration Registers:Offset 31FFh: bit 1). If FERR# is active,
indicating a coprocessor error, a write to the Coprocessor Error
register (I/O register F0h) causes the IGNNE# to be asserted.
IGNNE# remains asserted until FERR# is negated. If FERR# is not
asserted when the Coprocessor Error register is written, the IGNNE#
signal is not asserted.
INIT# O Initialization: INIT# is asserted by the ICH6 for 16 PCI clocks to
reset the processor.
ICH6 can be configured to support processor Built In Self Test
(BIST).
INIT3_3V# O Initialization 3.3 V: This is the identical 3.3 V copy of INIT#

Name Type Description
NMI O Non-Maskable Interrupt: NMI is used to force a non-Maskable
interrupt to the processor. The ICH6 can generate an NMI when
either SERR# is asserted or IOCHK# goes active via the SERIRQ#
stream. The processor detects an NMI when it detects a rising edge on
NMI. NMI is reset by setting the corresponding NMI source
enable/disable bit in the NMI Status and Control register (I/O
Register 61h).
SMI# O System Management Interrupt: SMI# is an active low output
synchronous to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH6 in response to one
of many enabled hardware or software events.
STPCLK# O Stop Clock Request: STPCLK# is an active low output synchronous
to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH6 in response to one of many
hardware or software events.
When the processor samples STPCLK# asserted, it responds by
stopping its internal clock.
RCIN# I Keyboard Controller Reset CPU: The keyboard controller can
generate INIT# to the processor. This saves the external OR gate with
the ICH6’s other sources of INIT#. When the ICH6 detects the
assertion of this signal, INIT# is generated for 16 PCI clocks.
NOTE: The ICH6 will ignore RCIN# assertion during transitions to
the S1, S3, S4, and S5 states.
A20GATE I A20 Gate: A20GATE is from the keyboard controller. The signal
acts as an alternative method to force the A20M# signal active. It
saves the external OR gate needed with various other chipsets.
CPUPWRGD /

O Processor Power Good: This signal should be connected to the
processor’s PWRGOOD input to indicate when the processor power
is valid. This is an open- drain output signal (external pull-up resistor
required) that represents a logical AND of the ICH6’s PWROK and
VRMPWRGD signals.
This signal may optionally be configured as a GPO.

NOTES:
1.All inputs are sticky. The status bit remains set as long as the input was asserted for two
clocks.GPIs are sampled on PCI clocks in S0/S1. GPIs are sampled on RTC clocks in S3/S4/S5.
2.Some GPIOs exist in the VccSus3_3 power plane. Care must be taken to make sure GPIO
signals are not driven high into powered-down planes. Some ICH6 GPIOs may be connected to
pins on devices that exist in the core well. If these GPIOs are outputs, there is a danger that a
loss of core power (PWROK low) or a Power Button Override event will result in the Intel
ICH6 driving a pin to a logic 1 to another device that is powered down.
3.GPI[15:0] can be configured to cause a SMI# or SCI. Note that a GPI can be routed to either
an SMI# or an SCI, but not both.

7. Maintenance Diagnostics
7.1 Introduction
Each time the computer is turned on, the system BIOS runs a series of internal checks on the hardware. This power-
on self test (post) allows the computer to detect problems as early as the power-on stage. Error messages of post can
alert you to the problems of your computer.
If an error is detected during these tests, you will see an error message displayed on the screen. If the error occurs
before the display is initialized, then the screen cannot display the error message. Error codes or system beeps are
used to identify a post error that occurs when the screen is not available.
The value for the diagnostic port is written at the beginning of the test. Therefore, if the test failed, the user can
determine where the problem occurred by reading the last value written to the port-80H by the debug card plug at
MINI PCI slot.

*1: No Power Definition
Base on ACPI Spec. We define the no power as while we press the power button, the system can’t leave S5 status
or none the PG signal send out from power supply.
*2: No Display Definition
Base on the digital IC three basic working conditions: working power, reset, Clock. We define the no display as
while system leave S5 status but can’t get into S0 status.
Judge condition:
Check whether there are any voltage feedback control to turn off the power.
Check whether no CPU power will cause system can’t leave S5 status.
If there are not any diagram match these condition, we should stop analyzing the schematic in power supply sending
out the PG signal. If yes, we should add the effected analysis into no power chapter.
Judge condition:
Check which power will cause no display.
Check which reset signal will cause no display.
Check which Clock signal will cause no display
Base on these three conditions to analyze the schematic and edit the no display chapter.
