4.3.1 Digital Media Interface (DMI)

Digital Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection between the processor and Intel

C602 Chipset. This high-speed interface integrates advanced priority-based servicing allowing

for concurrent traffic and true isochronous transfer capabilities. Base functionality is completely

software-transparent, permitting current and legacy software to operate normally.

4.3.2 PCI Express* Interface

The Intel

C602 Chipset provides up to eight PCI Express* Root Ports, supporting the PCI

Express* Base Specification, Revision 2.0. Each Root Port x1 lane supports up to 5 Gb/s

bandwidth in each direction (10 Gb/s concurrent). PCI Express* Root Ports 1-4 or Ports 5-8 can

independently be configured to support four x1s, two x2s, one x2 and two x1s, or one x4 port

widths.

4.3.3 Serial ATA (SATA) Controller

The Intel

C602 Chipset has two integrated SATA host controllers that support independent

DMA operation on up to six ports and supports data transfer rates of up to 6.0 Gb/s (600 MB/s)

on up to two ports (Port 0 and 1 Only) while all ports support rates up to 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s)

and up to 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s). The SATA controller contains two modes of operation – a legacy

mode using I/O space, and an AHCI mode using memory space. Software that uses legacy

mode will not have AHCI capabilities.

Note: When connecting the four SATA 3G ports to backplanes, the SATA SGPIO cable needs

to be properly connected in order to enable the LED indicator for the drives. The two SATA 6G

ports do not have SGPIO signal routed, the LED indicator will not light up if connecting the ports

to backplane. The ports can be used for ODD devices.

4.3.4 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/SATA Controller

On Intel

Server Board S2600CP2/S2600CP4, the Intel

C602 chipset supports up to eight SAS

ports with speed up to 3.0 Gb/s. Please refer to section 4.3.20 for detailed information of the

port features with the Intel

C600 Upgrade Keys. The feature is not available on Intel

Server

Board S2600CP2J.

4.3.5 AHCI

The Intel

C602 Chipset provides hardware support for Advanced Host Controller Interface

(AHCI), a standardized programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting

AHCI may take advantage of performance features. AHCI also provides usability enhancements

such as Hot-Plug. AHCI requires appropriate software support (for example, an AHCI driver)

and for some features, hardware support in the SATA device or additional platform hardware.
