System and method for processor bus termination
A method and system for terminating the processor bus of a computer system is provided in which an external termination resistor is coupled between the processor and power at the optional processor socket. The placement of an external resistor at this location permits the termination of the bus irrespective of whether the computer system is configured to operate as a single processor system or a dual processor system. The value of external resistor is set to establish an impedance matching condition along the length of the processor bus.
