UP1000 + * + + The UP1000 is an ATX mainboard based on the 21264a CPU which itself lives in + a Slot B module. It normally lives in some sort of ATX [mini]tower enclosure. + + Features: + - 21264a Alpha CPU at 600 or 700 MHz in a Slot B module (includes cooling fans) + - memory bus: 128 bits + - on-board Bcache / L2 cache: 2Mb (600Mhz) or 4Mb (700Mhz) cache + - AMD AMD-751 system controller chip + - Acer Labs M1543C PCI-ISA bridge controller chip + - PS/2 mouse & keyboard port + - memory: 168-pin PC100 unbuffered SDRAM DIMMS + 3 DIMM slots + DIMM sizes supported are 64, 128 or 256 Mb + - 2x 16550A serial ports, + - 1x ECP/EPP parallel port + - floppy interface + - 2x embedded Ultra DMA33 IDE interface + - 2x USB ports + - expansion: 4 32 bit PCI slots + 2 ISA slots + 1 AGP slot + + Slot B: + Slot B is a box-like enclosure that houses a daughterboard for the CPU and + cache. It has 2 small fans for cooling. Loud ones too.. + + Power + The UP1000 needs a 400Watt ATX power supply according to the manufacturer. + This might be a bit overly conservative/pessimistic judging from the power + consumption of the board & cpu. But as always you will have to take your + expansion cards and peripherals into account. The M1543C chip contains power + management functionality & temperature monitoring (via I2C / SM bus). + + Console + Chances are that your UP1000 comes by default with AlphaBios only. The SRM + console firmware is available from the Alpha Processor Inc. website. + + EIDE: + The embedded Ultra DMA EIDE ports are bootable by the SRM console. + Supported hardware overview --------------------------- -- Wilko Bulte http://www.freebsd.org "Do, or do not.
