3.2 Intel 3000 Chipset
® ®
The Intel Server Board S3000AH is designed around the Intel 3000 Chipset. The chipset
provides an integrated I/O bridge and memory controller, and a flexible I/O subsystem core (PCI
Express*). The following lists the three primary components of the chipset.
3.2.1 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
®
3.2.1.1 Intel 3000 Chipset MCH: Memory Control Hub
The MCH accepts access requests from the host (processor) bus and directs those accesses to
memory or to one of the PCI Express* or PCI buses. The MCH monitors the host bus,
examining addresses for each request. One of the following queues directs the access request:
Memory request queue: Provides subsequent forwarding to the memory subsystem.
Outbound request queue: Provides subsequent forwarding to one of the PCI Express*or
PCI buses
®
The MCH also accepts inbound requests from the Intel ICH7R. The MCH is responsible for
generating the appropriate controls to control data transfer to and from memory.
17
Revision 1.4
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Boards S3000AHLX, S3000AH, and S3000AHV TPS
The MCH is a 1210-ball FC-BGA device and uses the proven components of the following
previous generations:
Hub interface unit
PCI Express* interface unit
DDR2 memory interface unit
The MCH incorporates an integrated PCI Express* interface. The PCI Express interface allows
the MCH and PCI Express devices to communicate directly. The MCH also increases the main
memory interface bandwidth and maximum memory configuration with a 64-bit wide memory
interface.
The MCH integrates the following main functions:
An integrated high performance main memory subsystem
A PCI Express* bus which provides an interface to the PCI Express* devices (fully
compliant to the PCI Express* Base Specification, Rev 1.0a)
®
A DMI which provides an interface to the Intel ICH7R
Other features provided by the MCH include the following:
Full support of ECC on the processor bus
Twelve deep in-order queue, two deep defer queue
Full support of un-buffered DDR2 ECC DIMMs
Support for 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DDR2 memory modules
3.2.1.2 Segment F PCI Express* x8
The MCH PCI Express* Lanes 0-7 provide a x8 PCI Express connection directly to the MCH.
This resource can support x1, x4, x 8 PCI Express add-in cards with PCI-E slot or through the
®
I/O riser when using the Intel Adaptive Slot.

3.2.2 PCI-X* Hub (PXH)
PXH-V: PCI-X* Hub (S3000AHLX SKU Only) The PXH-V hub is a peripheral chip that performs
PCI/PCI-X* bridging functions between the PCI Express* interface and the PCI/PCI-X bus. The
PXH-V contains two PCI bus interfaces that can be independently configured to operate in PCI
(33 or 66 MHz), PCI-X Mode1 (66MHz, 100MHz, and 133MHz), for either 32 or 64 bits.
3.2.2.1 Segment E 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X* Subsystem
One 64-bit PCI-X* bus segment is directed through the PXH-V. This PCI-X segment, segment
E, provides the following:
One 3.3V 64-bit PCI-X slots
One 3.3V 64-bit PCI-X riser slot (S3000AHLX SKU only)
On Segment E, PCI-X is capable of speeds up to 133 MHz operation and supports full-length
®
PCI and PCI-X adapters. For slot 6, the Intel Adaptive Slot, the PCI-X bus can run at a
maximum 100MHz speed with a PCI-X riser card.

Functional Architecture Intel® Server Boards S3000AHLX, S3000AH, and S3000AHV TPS
3.2.2.1.1 Device IDs (IDSEL)
Each device under the PCI-X* hub bridge has its IDSEL signal connected to one bit of AD
[31:16], which acts as a chip select on the PCI-X bus segment in configuration cycles. This
determines a unique PCI-X device ID value for use in configuration cycles. The following table
shows the bit attached to each IDSEL signal for P64-C devices and a corresponding device
description.

3.2.2.1.2 Segment E Arbitration
PXH-V supports two PCI masters: two PCI-X* slots or one riser slot. All PCI masters must
arbitrate for PCI access using resources supplied by the PXH-V. The host bridge PCI interface
(PXH-V) arbitration lines REQx* and GNTx* are a special case because they are internal to the
host bridge. The following table defines the arbitration connections.

3.2.3 I/O Controller Hub
®
3.2.3.1 Intel ICH7R: I/O Controller Hub 7R
®
The Intel ICH7R controller has several components. It provides the interface for a 32-bit/33
® ®
MHz PCI bus. The Intel ICH7R can be both a master and a target on that PCI bus. The Intel
®
ICH7R includes a USB 2.0 controller and an IDE controller. The Intel ICH7R is responsible for
®
much of the power management functions with ACPI control registers built in. The Intel ICH7R
also provides a number of General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins and has the Low Pin Count (LPC)
bus to support low speed Legacy I/O.
®
The MCH and Intel ICH7R chips provide the pathway between the processor and the I/O
systems. The MCH is responsible for accepting access requests from the host (processor) bus,
and directing all I/O accesses to one of the PCI buses or Legacy I/O locations. If the cycle is
directed to one of the PCI Express* segments, the MCH communicates with the PCI Express
Devices (add-in card, on board devices) through the PCI Express interface. If the cycle is
®
directed to the Intel ICH7R, the cycle is output on the MCH’s DMI bus. All I/O for the board,
®
including PCI and PC-compatible I/O, is directed through the MCH and then through the Intel
ICH7R provided PCI buses.
20 Revision 1.2

controller, and one ATI ES1000 video controller. For more details on this segment, refer to
chapter 3.4.1.
3.2.3.4 IDE Interface (Bus Master Capability and Synchronous DMA Mode)
®
The Intel ICH7R acts as a PCI-based Ultra ATA 100/66/33 IDE controller that supports
®
programmed I/O transfers and bus master IDE transfers. The Intel ICH7R supports one IDE
channel, supporting two drives each (drives 0 and 1). The server board provides a 40-pin (2x20)
IDE connector to access the IDE functionality.
The IDE interface supports Ultra ATA 100/66/33 Synchronous DMA Mode transfers on the 40-
pin connector.

The server board supports up to four DIMM slots for a maximum memory capacity of 8 GB. The
DIMM organization is x72, which includes eight ECC check bits. The memory interface runs at
533/667 MTs. The memory controller supports the following:
Single-bit error correction
Multiple-bit error detection
Memories using 512 Mbit, 1 Gbit, 2 Gbit DRAM based on memory technology
Memory can be implemented with either single-sided (one row) or double-sided (two row)
DIMMs.
3.3.1 Memory Configuration
The memory interface between the MCH and the DIMMs is 72-bit (ECC) wide interface.
There are two banks of DIMMs, labeled 1 and 2. Bank 1 contains DIMM socket locations
DIMM_1A and DIMM_2A. Bank 2 contains DIMM socket locations DIMM_1B and DIMM_2B.
The sockets associated with each bank or “channel” are located next to each other and the
DIMM socket identifiers are marked on the server board silkscreen, near the DIMM socket.
Bank 1 is associated with Memory Channel A while Bank 2 is associated with Memory Channel
B. When only two DIMM modules are used, the population order must be DIMM_1A, DIMM_1B
to ensure dual channel operating mode.

For dual channel dynamic paging mode to function, the following conditions must be met:
Two identical DIMMs are installed, one each in DIMM_1A and DIMM_1B
Four identical DIMMs are installed (one in each socket location)
Note: Do not install only three DIMMS on the board. Do not use DIMMs that are not “matched”
(same type and speed). Use of identical memory parts is preferred.
See Figure 9 for more information.
The system is designed to populate any rank on either channel, including either degenerate
single channel case.
DIMM and memory configurations must adhere to the following requirements:

3.3.2 Memory DIMM Support
The board supports unbuffered (not registered) DDR2 533/667 MHz ECC or Non-ECC DIMMs
operating at 533/667MT/s. This board only supports DIMMs tested and qualified by Intel or a
designated memory test vendor. A list of qualified DIMMs is available at
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/S3000AH. Although all DIMMs are
supported by design, the board only supports fully qualified DIMMs.
The minimum supported DIMM size is 512 MB. Therefore, the minimum main memory
configuration is 1 x 512 MB or 512 MB. The largest size DIMM supported is 2 GB and as such,
the maximum main memory configuration is 8 GB implemented by 4 x 2 GB DIMMs.
Supports unbuffered DDR2 533/667 MHz compliant, ECC x8 and Non-ECC x8 or x16
memory DIMMs.
Detects and corrects ECC single-bit errors (SBE). Detects multiple-bit errors (MBE).
The maximum memory capacity is 8 GB via four 2 GB DIMM modules.
The minimum memory capacity is 512 MB via a single 512 MB DIMM module.
3.4 I/O Sub-System
3.4.1 PCI Subsystem
The primary I/O buses for the server board are five independent PCI bus segments providing
PCI, PCI Express* and PCI-X* resources (S3000AHLX SKU only). The PCI buses comply with
the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev 2.3.
®
PCI Segments A, B, C, and D are directed through the Intel ICH7R. PCI Segment E is
®
independently configured to PXH-V that is through Intel ICH7R by the PCI Express* x4
interface. The PCI Express X8 interface directs PCI Segment F through the MCH. The following
table lists the characteristics of the three PCI bus segments.

3.4.1.1 P32-A: 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI Subsystem
®
The Intel ICH7R provides a Legacy 32-bit PCI subsystem and acts as the central resource on
this PCI interface. P32-A supports the following embedded devices and connectors:

3.4.1.1.1 Device IDs (IDSEL)
Each device under the PCI hub bridge has its IDSEL signal connected to one bit of AD (31:16),
which acts as a chip select on the PCI bus segment in configuration cycles. This determines a
unique PCI device ID value for use in configuration cycles. The following table shows the
Segment A IDSEL signal and bits and the corresponding device description.

3.4.1.1.2 Segment A Arbitration
®
PCI Segment A supports two PCI devices: the Intel ICH7R and one PCI bus master (NIC). All
®
PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access, using resources supplied by the Intel ICH7R. The
host bridge PCI interface (ICH7R) arbitration lines REQx* and GNTx* are a special case in that
they are internal to the host bridge. The following table defines the arbitration connections.

3.4.1.2 PCI Interface for Video subsystem
®
The Intel ICH7R uses a 32/33MHz PCI bus to connect to the server board graphics subsystem.
3.4.2 Interrupt Routing
The board interrupt architecture accommodates both PC-compatible PIC mode and APIC mode
®
interrupts through the use of the integrated I/O APICs in the Intel ICH7R.
3.4.2.1 Legacy Interrupt Routing
®
For PC-compatible mode, the Intel ICH7R provides two 82C59-compatible interrupt controllers.
The two controllers are cascaded with interrupt levels 8-15 entering on level 2 of the primary
interrupt controller (standard PC configuration). The processor receives a single interrupt signal,
®
which the processor responds to for servicing. The Intel ICH7R contains configuration registers
that define which interrupt source logically maps to I/O APIC INTx pins.
® ®
The Intel ICH7R handles both PCI and IRQ interrupts. The Intel ICH7R translates these to the
®
APIC bus. The numbers in the following table indicate the Intel ICH7R PCI interrupt input pin to
which the associated device interrupt (INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD, INTE, INTF, INTG, INTH for
®
PCI bus and PXIRQ0, PXIRQ1, PXIRQ2, and PXIRQ3 for PCI-X* bus) is connected. The Intel
ICH7R I/O APIC exists on the I/O APIC bus with the processor.

only)
3.4.2.2 APIC Interrupt Routing
®
For APIC mode, the server board interrupt architecture incorporates three Intel I/O APIC
®
devices to manage and broadcast interrupts to local APICs in each processor. The Intel I/O
APICs monitor each interrupt on each PCI device including PCI slots in addition to the ISA
compatibility interrupts IRQ (0-15).
When an interrupt occurs, a three-wire serial interface sends a message corresponding to the
interrupt to the local APICs. The APIC bus minimizes interrupt latency time for compatibility
interrupt sources. The I/O APICs can also supply greater than 16 interrupt levels to the
processor(s). This APIC bus consists of an APIC clock and two bi-directional data lines.

3.4.2.4 Serialized IRQ Support
The server board supports a serialized interrupt delivery mechanism. Serialized Interrupt
Requests (SERIRQ) consists of a start frame, a minimum of 17 IRQ / data channels, and a stop
frame. Any slave device in the quiet mode may initiate the start frame. While in the continuous
mode, the start frame is initiated by the host controller.
3.4.3 PCI Error Handling
The PCI bus defines two error pins, PERR# and SERR#, for reporting PCI parity errors and
system errors, respectively. In the case of PERR#, the PCI bus master has the option to retry
the offending transaction or to report it using SERR#. SERR# reports all other PCI-related
errors. SERR# is routed to NMI if enabled by BIOS.

3.5.1.2 Dual Video
The on-board graphics controller does not support dual video mode. When an add-in video
card is populated, the on-board video controller is automatically disabled.
3.5.2 Network Interface Controller (NIC)
The server board supports two 10/100/1000Base-T network interfaces.
®
NIC 1 is an Intel 82573E gigabit Ethernet controller resourced with an x1 PCI Express*
®
interface from the Intel ICH7R (PCI Segment C).
®
NIC2 is an Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller is resourced with a 32-bit/33 MHz
®
PCI Segment from the Intel ICH7R (PCI Segment A) on the S3000AHLX and S3000AH
SKU only.
® ®
Both the Intel 82573E and Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controllers are single, compact
components with an integrated gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and physical layer
® ®
(PHY) function. The Intel 82573E and Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller allow for a
gigabit Ethernet implementation in a very small area that is footprint compatible with current
®
generation 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet designs. The Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
®
and Intel 82573E integrate the fourth and fifth generation (respectively) gigabit MAC design
with fully integrated, physical layer circuitry to provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface
for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE_TX, and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab). The
controller is capable of transmitting and receiving data at rates of 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10
Mbps. In addition to managing MAC and PHY layer functions, the 82541PI controller provides a
32-bit wide direct Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) 2.3 compliant interface capable of
operating at 33-or 66-MHz while the 82573E provides a PCI Express* x1 interface.
® ®
Both the Intel 82573E and Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controllers can be disabled and
®
enabled by GPIO pins from the Intel ICH7R, which is controlled through the BIOS. Both NIC
controllers support the Wake ON LAN (WOL) function to wake the system from S1 and S4 sleep
states(S3 is not supported).
® ®
The Intel 82573E Gigabit Ethernet controller supports Intel AMT technology, which is in
®
conflict with teaming implementations. Therefore, the Intel 82573E Ethernet controller does not
support teaming.

The BIOS Identification string uniquely identifies the revision of the BIOS used on the server.
The string has the following format:
BoardFamilyID.OEMID.MajorRev.MinorRev.BuildID.BuildDateTime
Where:
BoardFamilyID = String name for this board family
®
OEMID = Three-character OEM ID (several Intel server boards use “86B”)
MajorRev = Two decimal digits
MinorRev = Two decimal digits
BuildID = Four decimal digits
BuildDateTime = Build date and time in MMDDYYYYHHMM format:
- MM = Two-digit month
- DD = Two-digit day of month
- YYYY = Four-digit year
- HH = Two-digit hour using a 24-hour clock
- MM = Two-digit minute
®
For example, Intel Server Board S3000AH BIOS Build 3, generated on Jan 21, 2006 at 11:59

4.3 BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup utility is a text-based utility that allows the user to configure the system and
view current settings and environment information for the platform devices. The Setup utility
controls built-in devices in the platform.
The BIOS Setup interface consists of a number of pages or screens. Each page contains
information or links to other pages. The first page in Setup displays a list of general categories
as links. These links lead to pages containing specific category’s configuration.
The following sections describe the look and behavior for platform Setup.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
