SIGNALS REFERENCE
A.1.43. RESET# (I)
The RESET# signal is the Execution Control group reset signal. Asserting RESET# resets all
Pentium Pro processors to known states and invalidates their L1 and L2 caches without writing
back Modified (M state) lines. RESET# must remain active for one microsecond for a “warm”
reset. For a power-on type reset, RESET# must stay active for at least one millisecond after Vcc
and CLK have reached their proper DC and AC specifications. On observing active RESET#,
all bus agents must deassert their outputs within two clocks.
A number of bus signals are sampled at the active-to-inactive transition of RESET# for the pow-
er-on configuration. The configuration options are described in Chapter 9, Configuration and in
every signal description in this chapter.
Unless its outputs are tristated during power-on configuration, after active-to-inactive transition
of RESET#, the Pentium Pro processor optionally executes its built-in self-test (BIST) and be-
gins program execution at reset-vector 0_000F_FFF0H or 0_FFFF_FFF0H.
A.1.44. RP# (I/O)
The RP# signal is the Request Parity signal. It is driven by the request initiator in both clocks of
the Request Phase. RP# provides parity protection on ADS# and REQ[4:0]#. When a Pentium
Pro processor bus agent observes an RP# parity error on any one of the two Request Phase
clocks, it must assert AERR# in the Error Phase, provided “AERR# drive” is enabled during the
power-on configuration.
