III LE chipset consists of the ServerWorks CNB30LE North
Bridge chip and the ServerWorks OSB4 South Bridge chip. The CNB30LE provides an optimized
DRAM controller. The I/O subsystem of the ServerWorks chipset is based on the OSB4 South
Bridge, which is a highly integrated PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator Bridge.
3.4.1 ServerWorks CNB30LE North Bridge Chip
The ServerWorks CNB30LE North Bridge chip provides bus-control signals, address paths, and
data paths for transfers between the processor’s host bus, the PCI bus, and main memory.
The North Bridge features:
Processor Interface Control
• Support for processor host bus frequency of 100MHz and 133MHz
• 32-bit addressing
• Desktop-optimized GTL+ compliant host bus interface
Integrated DRAM Controller
• +3.3V only DIMM DRAM configurations
• Up to four double-sided DIMMs
• 100MHz or 133MHz SDRAM
• Support for up to 4GB of registered SDRAM
• DIMM serial presence detect via SMBus interface
• 16-, 64- and 128-Mbit devices with 2 KB, 4 KB, and 8 KB page sizes
• x 4, x 8, and x 16 DRAM widths
• Single error correction, multiple error detection
• Symmetrical and asymmetrical DRAM addressing
• ECC SEC/DED
PCI Bus Interface
• Complies with the PCI specification Rev. 2.1
• 64 bit, 33/66 MHz Secondary PCI bus interface with integrated PCI arbiter
• Asynchronous coupling to the host-bus frequency
• PCI parity generation support
• Data streaming support from PCI-to-DRAM
• Support for four PCI bus masters in addition to the host and PCI-to-ISA I/O bridge
• Support for concurrent host and PCI transactions to main memory
Data Buffering
• DRAM write buffer with read-around-write capability
• Dedicated host-to-DRAM, PCI0-to-DRAM, and PCI1-to-DRAM read buffers
Power Management
• Support for system suspend/resume
• Compliant with ACPI power management
SMBus Support for desktop management functions
Support for System Management Mode (SMM)
Glueless Serial interface with OSB4 South Bridge chip
