Intel® Server Board S5000VSA TPS

Functional Architecture

Revision 1.4

Intel order number – D36978-006

detect any faults in the Intel® Embedded RAID Technology II volume(s) attached to the Intel®

RAID controller.

3.2.3

Parallel ATA (PATA) Support

The integrated IDE controller of the ESB2-E ICH6 provides one IDE channel. This IDE channel

is capable of supporting one optical drive. A standard high density 40-pin IDE connector

interfaces with the primary IDE channel signals. The IDE channels can be configured and

enabled or disabled by accessing the BIOS Setup Utility during POST.

The BIOS supports the ATA/ATAPI Specification, version 6 or later. It initializes the embedded

IDE controller in the chipset south-bridge and the IDE devices that are connected to these

devices. The BIOS scans the IDE devices and programs the controller and the devices with

their optimum timings. The IDE disk read/write services that are provided by the BIOS use PIO

mode, but the BIOS will program the necessary Ultra DMA registers in the IDE controller so that

the operating system can use the Ultra DMA modes.

The BIOS initializes and supports ATAPI devices such as LS-120/240, CDROM, CD-RW and

DVD.

The BIOS initializes and supports SATA devices just like PATA devices. It initializes the

embedded the IDE controllers in the chipset and any SATA devices that are connected to these

controllers. From a software standpoint, SATA controllers present the same register interface as

the PATA controllers. Hot plugging SATA drives during the boot process is not supported by the

BIOS and may result in undefined behavior

3.2.3.1

Ultra ATA/133

The IDE interface of the ESB2-E ICH DMA protocol redefines signals on the IDE cable to allow

both host and target throttling of data and transfer rates of up to 133MB/s.

3.2.3.2

IDE Initialization

The BIOS supports the ATA/ATAPI Specification, version 6 or later. The BIOS initializes the

embedded IDE controller in the chipset (ESB2-E ICH) and the IDE device that is connected to

these devices. The BIOS scans the IDE device and programs the controller and the device with

their optimum timings. The IDE disk read/write services that are provided by the BIOS use PIO

mode, but the BIOS programs the necessary Ultra DMA registers in the IDE controller so that

the operating system can use the Ultra DMA Modes.

3.2.4

USB 2.0 Support

The USB controller functionality integrated into ESB2-E ICH6 provides the server board with the

interface for up to seven USB 2.0 ports. Four external connectors are located on the back edge

of the server board. One internal 1x10 header is provided, capable of supporting an additional

two optional USB 2.0 ports. There is also a USB port intended for USB floppy support.

Considering board positioning, 5000SVA SATA 4DIMM SKU will not have USB_6 (J1E2)built on

the board.
