FERR#
I
Numeric Coprocessor Error:
This signal is tied to the coprocessor error
signal on the processor. FERR# is only used if the 82801E C-ICH
coprocessor error reporting function is enabled in the General Control
Register (Device 31:Function 0, Offset D0, bit 13). If FERR# is asserted, the
82801E C-ICH generates an internal IRQ13 to its interrupt controller unit. It is
also used to gate the IGNNE# signal to ensure that IGNNE# is not asserted to
the processor unless FERR# is active. FERR# requires an external weak
pull-up to ensure a high level when the coprocessor error function is disabled.
FRAME#
I/O
Cycle Frame:
The current Initiator asserts FRAME# to indicate the beginning
and duration of a PCI transaction. While the initiator asserts FRAME#, data
transfers continue. When the initiator deasserts FRAME#, the transaction is in
the final data phase. FRAME# is an input to the 82801E C-ICH when the
82801E C-ICH is the target, and FRAME# is an output from the 82801E
C-ICH when the 82801E C-ICH is the Initiator. FRAME# remains tri-stated by
the 82801E C-ICH until driven by an Initiator.

PCI Grants:
The 82801E C-ICH supports up to four masters on the PCI bus.
GNT[5]# is muxed with PC/PCI GNT[B]# (must choose one or the other, but
not both). If not needed for PCI or PC/PCI, GNT[5]# can instead be used as a
GPIO.
Pull-up resistors are not required on these signals. If pullups are used, they
should be tied to the Vcc3_3 power rail. GNT[B]#/GNT[5]#/GPIO[17] has an
internal pull-up.

O
PC/PCI DMA Acknowledges [A:B]:
This grant serializes an ISA-like DACK#
for the purpose of running DMA/ISA master cycles over the PCI bus. This is
used by devices such as PCI-based Super I/O or audio codecs which need to
perform legacy 8237 DMA but have no ISA bus.
When not used for PC/PCI, these signals can be used as General Purpose
Outputs. GNTB# can also be used as the fourth PCI bus master grant output.
These signal have internal pull-up resistors.
