COMPONENT INTRODUCTION
1.2.4.
Data Integrity
The Pentium Pro processor bus provides parity signals for address, request, and response sig-
nals. The bus protocol supports retrying bus requests.
The Pentium Pro processor bus supports error correcting code (ECC) on the data bus and has
correction capability at the receiver.
The Pentium Pro processor supports functional redundancy checking (FRC), similar to that of
the Pentium processor. FRC support enables the Pentium Pro processor to be used in high data-
integrity, fault-tolerant applications. In addition, two Pentium Pro processors can be configured
at power-on as an FRC pair or a multiprocessor-ready pair.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Figure 1-2 illustrates the Pentium Pro processor system environment, containing multiple pro-
cessors (MP), memory, and I/O. This particular architectural view is not intended to imply any
implementation trade-offs.
