SIGNAL QUALITY NOTES
If system signals to the debug port (i.e. TDO, PRDY[0-3]# and RESET#) are used elsewhere in
the system, then dedicated drivers should be used to isolate the signals from reflections coming
from the end of the debug port cable. If the Pentium Pro processor boundary scan signals are
used elsewhere in the system, then the TDI, TMS, TCK, and TRST# signals from the debug port
should be isolated from the system signals with multiplexers as discussed in Section 16.2.5.,
“Debug Port Layout”.
Additionally, it is a general rule that no signals should be left floating. Thus, signals going from
the debug port to the Pentium Pro processor-based system should not be left floating. If they are
left floating there may be problems when an ITP is not plugged in.

DEBUG PORT CONNECTOR
Figure 16-5 and Figure 16-6 show how the debug port connector should be installed on a circuit
board. Note the way the pins are numbered on the connector and how the through holes are laid
out on the board. Figure 16-6 shows a dotted line representation of the connector and behind it
the through holes as seen from the top side of the circuit board (the side on which the connector
will be placed). The through holes are shown so that you can match the pin numbers of the con-
nector to where the connector leads will fall on the circuit board. Although this may appear very
simple, it is surprising how often mistakes are made in this aspect of the debug port layout.
