About This Manual
This manual describes the AlphaPC 164SX motherboard, a board for computing
systems based on the DIGITAL Semiconductor Alpha 21164PC microprocessor and
the companion DIGITAL Semiconductor 21174 core logic chip. It describes the
motherboard’s features and how to set its configuration switches. This manual helps
users to install and populate the AlphaPC 164SX motherboard with memory boards
and peripheral cards.
1.1 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 1916 and 19A are hexadecimal numbers.
Extents: Extents are specified by a single number or a pair of numbers in 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.

Values indicated are for an AlphaPC 164SX motherboard with an Alpha 21164PC microprocessor
operating at 400 MHz, with 128MB SDRAM, excluding adapter cards and disk drives.
Caution:
Fan sensor required. The 21164PC microprocessor cooling fan must
drive an RPM indicator signal. If the airflow stops, the sensor on the
motherboard detects that the RPM has stopped, and resets the system.
2.2 Environmental Requirements
The 21164PC microprocessor is cooled by a small fan blowing directly into the
chip’s heat sink. The AlphaPC 164SX motherboard is designed to run efficiently by
using only this fan. Additional fans may be necessary depending upon cabinetry and
the requirements of plug-in cards.
The AlphaPC 164SX motherboard is specified to run within the environment listed
in Table 2–4.

AlphaPC 164SX Switch Configuration
The AlphaPC 164SX motherboard has a set of switches located at SW1, as shown in
Figure 2–1. These switches set the hardware configuration. Figure 3–1 shows these
switch configurations.
3.1 Password Bypass (CF2)
AlphaBIOS provides password protection. However, password bypass is provided
for system setup or startup when the AlphaBIOS password is unavailable.
Password bypass is disabled by default, with switch CF2 of SW1 in the on position
(see Figure 3–1). When this function is enabled, it disables the AlphaBIOS password
verification and enables the user to set up or start up their system without the
AlphaBIOS password. Password bypass also clears the password.
To disable this function and require a password, slide CF2 to the on position.
3.2 Mini-Debugger (CF3)
The Alpha SROM Mini-Debugger is stored in the flash ROM and is enabled/
disabled by switch CF3. The default position for this switch is on (see Figure 3–1).
When this switch is off, it causes the SROM initialization to trap to the MiniDebugger after all initialization is complete, but before starting the execution of the
system flash ROM code.
3.3 CPU Speed Selection (CF[6:4])
The clock synthesizer at U45 makes it possible to change the frequency of the
microprocessor’s clock output. The switch configuration is set in SW1, CF[6:4].
These three switches set the speed at power-up as listed in Figure 3–1. The
microprocessor frequency divided by the ratio determines the system clock
frequency.

Fail-Safe Booter (CF7)
3.4 Fail-Safe Booter (CF7)
The fail-safe booter provides an emergency recovery mechanism when the primary
firmware image contained in flash memory has been corrupted. When flash memory
has been corrupted, and no image can be loaded safely from the flash, you can run
the fail-safe booter and boot another image from a diskette that is capable of reprogramming the flash.
Refer to Section 8.5 for more information.

Pins 1 through 84 are on the front side and pins 85 through 168 are on the back side.
The AlphaPC 164SX uses BA1 as both BA1 and ADDR12. Therefore, four-bank DIMMs using ADDR[11:0]
are the maximum size. (Two-bank DIMMs can use ADDR[12:0].

Memory and Microprocessor Configuration
For higher system speed or greater throughput, SDRAM memory can be upgraded
by replacing DIMMs with those of greater size.
When configuring or upgrading SDRAM, observe the following rules:
•
Each DIMM must be a 168-bit unbuffered version and have a frequency of
100 MHz.
•
Each bank consists of two DIMMs and must be fully populated.
•
Both DIMMs in the same bank must be of equal size.
5.1 Configuring SDRAM Memory
Although not an exhaustive list, Table 5–1 lists the tested SDRAM memory
configurations available. As additional configurations become available, they will be
posted in online revisions of this manual on the DIGITAL Semiconductor home
page. See Appendix B for the URL.
For a list of vendors who supply components and accessories for the
AlphaPC 164SX, see Appendix A.
Refer to Figure 2–1 for DIMM connector locations.

you have inserted the AlphaPC 164SX Windows NT 4.0 Installation diskette. The following procedure supersedes the Starting Setup on a RISC-based Computer section
of the Microsoft Windows NT installation guide.
To start the Windows NT Setup program:
1. Insert the Windows NT compact disc in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Start AlphaBIOS Setup, select Install Windows NT, and press Enter.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information about troubleshooting hardware and software
during AlphaPC 164SX startup.
8.1 Password Bypass
AlphaBIOS provides password protection. However, password bypass is provided
for system setup or startup when the AlphaBIOS password is unavailable.
Password bypass is enabled by sliding switch CF2 in the SW1 switchpack to the off
position (see Figure 3–1). This disables the AlphaBIOS password verification and
enables the user to set up or start up their system without the AlphaBIOS password.
Password bypass also clears the password.
8.2 Hardware Startup
Use the following troubleshooting steps if video is not working on your system. If
you still have no video after reviewing these steps, please call your system vendor.
Troubleshooting Steps: No Video
1. Check the connection to the ac outlet.
2. Check the voltage setting on the power supply (115 V ac in the U.S.).
3. Check that the frequency/switch selection matches the speed of the Alpha chip.
4. Check that the CPU fan is connected and spinning.
5. Ensure that the flash ROM update procedure was performed correctly. If you
have a terminal attached to COM1, check the output for error messages after
verifying that the flash ROM update procedure was performed correctly.
6. Reseat the video card and ensure that it is connected to the monitor.

8.5 Fail-Safe Booter
The fail-safe booter provides an emergency recovery mechanism when the primary
firmware image contained in flash memory has been corrupted. When flash memory
has been corrupted, and no image can be loaded safely from the flash, you can run
the fail-safe booter and boot another image from a diskette that is capable of reprogramming the flash.

Fail-Safe Booter
Starting the Fail-Safe Booter
You can start the fail-safe booter in one of two ways:
•
If the primary firmware image is unavailable when the system is powered on or
reset, the fail-safe booter runs automatically. When the fail-safe booter runs, the
system emits a series of beeps through the speaker as beep code 1-2-3; that is,
one beep and a pause, followed by two beeps and a pause, followed by three
beeps. After the diskette activity light flashes, insert the AlphaPC 164SX
AlphaBIOS Firmware diskette. The fail-safe booter will load and run
AlphaBIOS from this diskette. Proceed to Section 7.1.3 and follow the procedure
for updating your flash ROM.
•
You can also start the fail-safe booter manually as follows:
1. Power off your system.
2. Slide switch CF7 to off, as described in Section 3.4.
3. Power on your system.
4. Insert the AlphaPC 164SX AlphaBIOS Firmware diskette into the diskette
drive.
5. Proceed to Section 7.1.3 and follow the procedures.
