About This Manual
This manual describes the AlphaPC 164UX/BX motherboard, a module for
computing systems based on the Alpha
TM
21164 microprocessor and the companion
Digital Semiconductor 21174 core logic chip. It describes the motherboards features
and how to set its configuration jumpers. This manual helps users to install and
populate the AlphaPC 164UX/BX motherboard with memory modules and
peripheral cards.
1.1 Difference between AlphaPC 164UX and 164BX
AlphaPC 164UX motherboard has the Ethernet LAN Controller and Ultra Wide
SCSI Controller which are not on AlphaPC 164BX motherboard.
The size of AlphaPC 164BX motherboard’s L3 cache is 2MB.
The size of AlphaPC 164UX motherboard’s L3 cache is 2MB or 4MB.
Except the above, AlphaPC 164UX motherboard and 164BX motherboard are
the same.
The following sections are about AlphaPC 164UX motherboard only.
1.2 Manual Conventions and Terminology
The following conventions are used in this manual.
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 19
16
and 19A are hexadecimal numbers.
1–2 About This Manual
Manual Conventions and Terminology
Extents: Extents are specified by a single number or a pair of numbers in square
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. Signal names that
originate 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, DEVSEL# and
RESET
.
Italic Type: Italic type emphasizes important information and indicates complete
titles of documents.

2–4 Features of the AlphaPC164UX Motherboard
Power Requirements
2.1 Power Requirements
The AlphaPC 164UX motherboard requires a minimum of a 300 watt power supply.
The power supply must be ATX-compliant.
Caution: Fan sensor required. The 21164 microprocessor cooling fan must
have a built-in sensor that will drive a signal if the airflow stops. The
sensor is connected to the motherboard connector J35. When the signal
is generated, the speaker generates a tone..
2.2 Environmental Requirements
The 21164 microprocessor is cooled by a small fan blowing directly into the chip’s
heat sink. The AlphaPC 164UX motherboard is designed to run efficiently using
only this fan. Additional fans may be necessary depending upon cabinetry and the
requirements of add-in cards and disk drives.
The AlphaPC 164UX motherboard is specified to run within the environment listed
in Table 2–4.

Physical Parameters
2.3 Physical Parameters
This section has two parts: the first illustrates the distances between the board
mounting holes and the edges of the board; the second shows the vertical clearances
required by the board components at all points within the border of the AlphaPC
164UX.
All holes and board measurements are compliant with the ATX 2.01 specification.
The AlphaPC 164UX exceeds the ATX height indications in two places. The first is
at the location of the 21164 (the 2.5’ region).The second is at the location of the
SCSI connectors(the 1.0’ region to the left of the second PCI slots).
The AlphaPC motherboard is an ATX-size printed wiring board (PWB) with the fol-
lowing dimensions:
Length: 30.48 cm (12.0 in ( 0.0005 in)
Width: 24.38 cm (9.6 in ( 0.0005 in)
Height: 6.86 cm (2.7 in)
The board can be used in certain desktop and deskside systems that have adequate
clearance for the 21164 heat sink and its cooling fan. All ISA and PCI expansion
slots are usable in standard desktop or deskside enclosures.

AlphaPC 164UX Jumper Configuration
The AlphaPC 164UX has one set of jumpers located at J28. These jumpers set the
hardware configuration and boot options. Figure 2–1 shows the jumper location on
the AlphaPC 164UX motherboard. Figure 3–1 shows the jumper functions for each
group.

Figure 3–1 AlphaPC 164UX Configuration Jumpers
3.1 CPU Speed Selection (Option 1,2,3, &4)
The clock synthesizer makes it possible to change the frequency of the microproces-
sors clock input without having to change the clock crystal. Simply set the speed
jumpers to adjust the frequency of the microprocessors clock. These speed jumpers
are located at J28-1/2 (Option 1), J28-3/4 (Option 2), J28-5/6 (Option 3), and J28-7/8
(Option 4). These four jumpers set speed at power-up as listed in Figure 3–1.

AlphaPC 164UX Jumper Configuration 3–3
Bcache Size Jumpers (Option 14,15)
3.2 Bcache Size Jumpers (Option 14,15)
The Bcache size jumpers are located at J28–27/28 (Option14) and J28–29/30
(Option15), as shown in Figure 3–1. The AlphaPC 164UX-2/-4 is configured with
2MB/4MB of Bcache during production ; the other jumpers shown in Figure 3–1
(0,1) are for other implementations.
Note: The standard motherboard is manufactured with 128K X 18 or 256K X
18 data SSRAMs.
3.3 Boot Option Jumper (Option 11)
The boot option jumper is located at J28-21/22 (Option 11). The default position for
this jumper is out (Figure 3–1). This jumper selects the image to be loaded into mem-
ory from the system flash ROM. With the jumper out the ARCSBIOS firmware is
loaded. With the jumper in, the Safe ARCSBIOS is loaded.
