CPUSERR_​STS (CPUSERR_​STS)

This bit is set to 1 if the CPU complex sends a DMI special cycle message indicating that it wants to cause an SERR#. Software must write a 1 back to this bit to clear it.

CPUSMI_​STS (CPUSMI_​STS)

This bit is set to 1 if the CPU complex sends a DMI special cycle message indicating that it wants to cause an SMI. The software must read the CPU to find out why it wanted the SMI. Software must write a 1 back to this bit to clear it.

BIOSWR_​STS (BIOSWR_​STS)

This bit is set to 1 and generates and SMI# is generated to indicate an illegal attempt to write to the BIOS. This occurs when either: a) The WP bit is changed from 0 to 1 and the LE bit is also set, or b) any write is attempted to the BIOS and the WP bit is also set.
Note: On write cycles attempted to the 4MB lower alias to the BIOS space, the BIOSWR_​STS bit will not be set.

NEWCENTURY_​STS (NEWCENTURY_​STS)

This bit will be set when the year rolls over from 1999 to 2000. If the bit is already 1, it will remain 1. This bit can be cleared either by software writing a 1 back to the bit position, or by RTEST# going active. When this bit is set, an SMI# will be generated. However, this will not be a wake event (i.e. if the system is in a sleeping state when the NEWCENTURY_​STS bit is set, the system will not wake up).
Note: This bit 7 is not valid when the RTC battery is first put in (or if the RTC battery does not provide sufficient power when the system is unplugged). Software can determine that the RTC well was not maintained by checking the RTC_​PWR_​STS bit (GEN_​PMCON_​3 register in the Power Management Controller, D31:F2:A4, bit 2) or by other means (such as doing a checksum on the RTC RAM array). If the RTC well is determined to not have been maintained, the BIOS should set the time to a legal value and then clear the NEWCENTURY_​STS bit.
Note: This bit may take up to 3 RTCCLKs for the bit to be cleared when a 1 is written to the bit to clear it. After writing a 1 to the NEWCENTURY_​STS bit, software should also not exit the SMI handler until after the bit has been cleared. This is to make sure the SMI is not re-entered.
BIOS Assumption: When booting, the BIOS checks the NEWCENTURY_​STS bit. If set, the BIOS should increment the value in the RTC RAM register associated with the century. The BIOS should then clear the NEWCENTURY_​STS bit. This scenario would occur if the system was asleep when the century rolls over. If the system is in an S0 state (not
sleeping) and the SMI# occurs with the NEWCENTURY_​STS bit sets, the SMI handler should increment the value in the RTC RAM register and clear the NEWCENTURY_​STS bit.

NMI2SMI_​STS (NMI2SMI_​STS)

This bit is read-only when an SMI# occurs because an event occurred that would otherwise have caused an NMI. The NMI2SMI_​STS bit should not be sticky bit. It should be a simple OR gate to indicate that one of the NMI sources has caused the SMI#. Each of the NMI sources already has its own sticky bit feeding the OR gate. Writes to this bit have no effect.
