Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This MICRO-STAR motherboard, documented under number AMS-95P1 revision 0A dated 2007/03/20, is built around the Pilot2 CPU platform. The system management and backplane control are handled by an Altera EPM570T100C5N CPLD in a TQFP100 package. This CPLD is fully programmable via a dedicated JTAG interface (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO), enabling firmware-level customization and debug. The board features extensive SAS/SATA backplane management, supporting up to 12 HDDs with individual activity and fault LED indicators, as well as global status monitoring. The design includes dual SGPIO buses for sideband signal control and a 32.768KHz real-time clock oscillator for timing functions.
