FIRST RESET SIGNAL ON COMPUTER CIRCUIT RSMRST# When the Power,Bios,Ec are OK, the RSMRST# will go Hi. In the other word,this pin go Low only when the systemreset.If BIOSdata is error,RSMRST# won’t go HI. When SIO(EC) get +V_RTC thecrystal will work. 1. RTC have to be oscillating(32.768KHz). 2. RTCRST# have to be high. 3. RSMRST# have to be inactive (high). 4. PWRBTN# have a trigger. 5. LOW_BAT# have to be inactive (high). If this 5 present, then EC will recieve SLP_S3# / SLP_S5 from ICH/PCH, in the old ICH or some deferent circuirity SLP_S3 and SLP_S5 will generate directly from ICH,or both EC and PCH having this signal also. When All+V?S/+V? powers are ready, PWR_GOOD will tie to high to turn on CPU powers(+VCCP and +VCC_CORE). SB/PCH Power good--->SB/PCH pwr_btn--->PCH RUN SUSB# from PCH toSIO pull up the signal SLP_S3# The signal is used to shut power off /on through logic gate transistor or IC SUSC# from PCH to SIO pull up the signal SLP_S5# The signal is used to shut power off /on through logic gate transistor or IC ICH/SB,MCH & CPU Signal Checking IMVP_PWRGD => CLK_ENABLE# => RESET_OUT#=> ICH_PWRGD => PLTRST# => PCI_RST=> H_PWRGOOD CPU generate the first cycle to read the BIOS code CPU bus DMI LPC SPI CPU ===> GMCH===> ICH===>SIO ===> BIOS CPU MASTER POWER VR_ON Enable--->+VCCORE 08VS to 1,5VS Memory +VTT and +V1.5VS (DDR3) is ok, the PGOOD VTT_PWRGD pull high to CPU first than ICH will tie H_PWRGD to high ,then NB will tie CPURST# to reset CPU. Crystal clock Oscilator CLOCK SUMMARY (1) 32.768KHz to SIO Required +V_RTC and to ICH(chipset) also Required +V_RTC (2) 49.152MHz to (audio controller) Required +V3S (3) 27MHz to Graphic chip (video controller )Required +V3S (4) 14.318MHz to (clock Generator) Required +V3S Make sure crystal is oscillating for EC(SIO),SB/ICH/PCH and VGA or it will no post Clock Generator Elementary required 1) Power : +V3S (2) Crystal : 14.318MHz (3) Control : PCISTOP# , CPUSTOP#_ is HI When +VCC_CORE is ready, CLKEN#will go high to enable clock-Generator and turn all clock. PCI_STOP# and CPU_STOP# must beat high otherwise some clocks will be turned off. Clock out -->SIO(EC)-->PCH/SB-->NB-->CPU LPC_Frame-->SB output signal is high Note High signal can be identified by measuring 3.3V available Power by experiences of adiedkhaz
