Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the AlphaPC 164SX motherboard, including
its components, features, and uses. The motherboard is a module for computing sys-
tems based on the 21174 core logic chip.
The AlphaPC 164SX provides a single-board hardware and software development
platform for the design, integration, and analysis of supporting logic and subsystems.
The board also provides a platform for PCI I/O device hardware and software devel-
opment.
1.1 System Components and Features
The AlphaPC 164SX is implemented in industry-standard parts and uses an Alpha
21164PC microprocessor running at 400 or 533 MHz. Figure 1–1 shows the board’s
