1 About This Manual
This manual describes the AlphaPC 164 motherboard, a module for computing
systems based on the Digital Semiconductor 21164 Alpha microprocessor and
the companion Digital Semiconductor 21172 core logic chipset. It describes the
features of the motherboard and how to set the configuration jumpers. The
manual is intended for users of the AlphaPC 164 motherboard to assist them
in installing the motherboard and populating it with memory modules and
peripheral cards.
1.1 Document Conventions
The following conventions are used in this document.
Caution: Cautions indicate potential damage to equipment, software, or data.
Note: Notes provide additional information about a topic.
Numbering: All numbers are decimal or hexadecimal unless otherwise
indicated. In case of ambiguity, a subscript indicates the radix of nondecimal
numbers. For example, 19 is a decimal number, but 1916 and 19A are
hexadecimal numbers.
Extents: Extents are specified by a single number or a pair of numbers in
angle brackets (< >) separated by a colon (:), and are inclusive. For example,
bits <7:3> specify an extent including bits 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3. Multiple bit fields
are shown as extents.
Register Figures: Register figures have bit and field position numbering
starting at the right (low-order) and increasing to the left (high-order).
Signal Names: All signal names are printed in boldface type. Signals whose
name originates in an industry-standard specification, such as PCI or IDE, are
printed in the case as found in the specification (usually uppercase). Active-low
signals have either a pound sign ‘‘#’’ appended, or a ‘‘not’’ overscore bar. For
example; SDONE,DEVSEL#, and
RESET
.
Italic Type:
Italic type emphasizes important information and indicates complete titles of
documents.
