Figure 15. Functional Block Diagram - Chipset Supported Features and Functions
On the Intel
®
Server Boards S2600CO, the chipset provides support for the following on-board
functions:
Low Pin Count (LPC) interface
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/Serial ATA (SATA) Support
Manageability Features
3.3.1 Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface
The chipset implements an LPC Interface as described in the LPC 1.1Specification and
provides support for up to two Master/DMI devices. On the server board, the LPC interface is
utilized as an interconnect between the chipset and the Integrated Base Board Management
Controller (IBMC) as well as providing support for the optional Trusted Platform Module (TMP).
