Devices on the Processor Local Bus
Individual pages of memory can be configured as cacheable or non-
cacheable by software or hardware. They can also be enabled and disabled
by hardware or software.
Data Integrity
The processor uses a number of techniques to maintain data integrity. It
employs two methods of error detection:
• Data Parity Checking
This is supported on a byte-by-byte basis, generating parity bits for data
addresses sent out of the microprocessor. These parity bits are not used
by the external subsystems.
• Internally
The processor uses functional redundancy checking to provide maximum
error detection of the processor and its interface.
Bus Frequencies
The Pentium processor uses internal clock multiplication. For example, a
150 MHz processor multiplies the 60 MHz system clock by 2.5.
Switches 1 and 2 set the frequency of the Processor-Local bus.
Switches 3 and 4 set the clock multiplier ratio (system clock : local bus).
Switch 7 sets the ISA bus speed.
If a processor upgrade is installed, the switch settings may need to be
changed to adapt to the new processor. The following table shows the
settings required for the different processors.
