PCI Express EDGE CARD INTERFACES

Standard PICMG 1.3 PCI Express Interfaces - Automatically adapts to graphics or server-class backplane PCIe link configurations - one x16 and one x4 or two x8 and one x4/ PCIe links.  The direct PCIe links from the board's processors (links A0, A1, A2 and A3) may operate as either PCIe Gen 1.1 or PCIe Gen 2.0 depending on the backplane design.  The x4 link from the board's PCH (link B0) is always a PCIe 1.1 link regardless of what is connected to this link and the option card that is used.  PCIe link (B0) from the board’s PCH has a x4 default configuration and can be made to bifurcate into four, x1 PCIe links with a factory modification to the JXT6966 board.  Contact Trenton if you require this B0 link configuration change.  The optional x1 link available with a Trenton IOB33 expansion module is a PCIe 1.1 link only.

Optional PCI Express Gen 2.0 Link Expansion - Installing a Trenton PEX10; PCI Express Expansion module, on the back of the JXT6966 provides four additional x4 PCIe Gen 2 links to a PCIe backplane like the Trenton BPC7009.  The backplane must have an edge connector slot to accommodate the PEX10's edge connector.  The backplane may use these additional x4 links independently or as one additional x16 PCIe Gen 2 link.

VIDEO INTERFACE

ON-BOARD INTERFACES

Eight USB 2.0 ports - Two each on the I/O bracket and on-board headers plus four routed to SHB edge connector "C"

Six SATA II/300 interfaces with RAID 0,1,5 and 10 support

Optional IOB33 provides the following I/O expansion capabilities:
 - IOB33 I/O plate connectors - Two DB9 RS232 serial ports and one PS/2 MiniDin for
                                                  PS/2 mouse & keyboard
 - IOB33 header connectors - Floppy drive, parallel port, PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse

WATCHDOG TIMER

The JXT6966 provides a programmable watchdog timer with programmable timeout periods of 100 msec, 1 second, 10 seconds or 1 minute via board component U13.  When enabled the WDT (U13) will generate a system reset.  WDT control is supplied via the General Purpose IO pins from the Intel® 3420 Platform Controller Hub (PCH).  The PCH’s GPIO_LVL2 register controls the state of each GPIO signal.  This 32-bit register is located within GPIO IO spaces.  The GPIO_BASE IO address is determined by the values programmed into the PCH’s LPC Bridge PCI configuration at offset 48-4B(h).

See the watchdog timer section in the specifications chapter of the JXT6966 Hardware Manual for more detailed information and a WDT programming example.
