CONFIGURATION
9.1.2.
Built-in Self Test
The Pentium Pro processor executes its built-in self test (BIST) if the INIT# signal is sampled
active on the RESET# signal’s active-to-inactive transition. In an MP cluster based on the system
architecture, the INIT# pin of different processors may or may not be bused. No software control
is available to perform this function.
9.1.3.
Data Bus Error Checking Policy
The Pentium Pro processor data bus error checking can be enabled or disabled. After active RE-
SET#, data bus error checking is always disabled. Data bus error checking can be enabled under
software control.
9.1.4.
Response Signal Parity Error Checking Policy
The Pentium Pro processor bus supports parity protection for the response signals, RS[2:0]#.
The parity checking on these signals can be enabled or disabled. After active RESET#, response
signal parity checking is disabled. It can be enabled under software control.
9.1.5.
AERR# Driving Policy
The Pentium Pro processor address bus supports parity protection on the Request Phase signals,
Aa[35:3]#, Ab[35:3]#, ADS#, REQa[4:0]#, and REQb[3:0]#. However driving the address par-
ity results on the AERR# pin is optional. After active RESET#, address bus parity error driving
is always disabled. It may be enabled under software control.
9.1.6.
AERR# Observation Policy
The AERR# input receiver is enabled if A8# is observed active on active-to-inactive transition
of RESET#. No software control is available to perform this function.
9.1.7.
BERR# Driving Policy for Initiator Bus Errors
A Pentium Pro processor bus agent can be enabled to drive the BERR# signal if it detects a bus
error. After active RESET#, BERR# signal driving is disabled for detected errors. It may be en-
abled under software control.
