Interrupt Interface
PAIRQ[15:0]
PBIRQ[15:0]
•  8.2 kΩ ± 5% pull-up to 3.3 V.
APICCLK
APICD[1:0]
• 8.2 k
Ω ± 5% pull-up to 3.3 V.
Hot-Plug Interface Enabled
PxPCIXCAP • 8.2 kΩ ± 5% pulled up to 3.3 V. • These PCI signals are 
connected to separate pins on 
the Intel
®
 P64H2. See 
Section 8.2.6.4, 
Section 8.2.7.3, and 
Section 8.2.8.4 for the 
corresponding Hot-Plug mode 
implementation. Unused inputs 
should not float.
M66EN • 8.2 k
Ω ± 5% pulled up to 3.3 V. • Unused inputs should not float.
HxSWITCH • Connect to MRL Sensor. Open MRL should 
pull HxSWITCH to 3.3 V. Closed MRL should 
pull HxSWITCH to GND.
• Refer to Section 8.2.2
HxPRSNT1#
HxPRSNT2#
• 5.6 k
Ω ± 5% pull-up to 3.3 V .
• If implementing Attention Button, PRSNT1# is 
the XOR of the momentary push-button and 
Slot Present signal.
• Refer to Section 8.2.2.
Hot-Plug – Single Slot Parallel Mode Specific
HPx_SLOT[2:0]
1
SLOT[0]: 8.2 kΩ pull-up to 3.3 V.
SLOT[1]: 8.2 k
Ω pull-down to ground.
SLOT[2]: 8.2 k
Ω pull-down to ground.
• This is a strapping pin for 
enabling single-slot parallel 
mode which is latched during 
reset. SLOT[1] also functions as 
the HxPCIXCAP2A input when 
not in reset. SLOT2 also 
functions as the HxPCIXCAP1A 
input when not in reset. Refer to 
Table 8-15.
PxIRQ[14:8]
1
• 8.2 kΩ ± 5% pull-up to 3.3 V. • These signals are mapped to 
Hot-Plug functions in single-slot 
Hot-Plug mode. 
PxIRQ15
1
•8.2Ω – 10 kΩ pull-up to 3.3 V. • A logic 1 on this pin indicates to 
the controller that the PCI slot 
should be immediately powered 
off. This signal is also 
connected to a SPST switch to 
ground which, when pressed, 
indicates by means of a logic 0 
that the slot can be powered on.
