System Overview
1-11
Alpha Chip Composition
The Alpha 21264 chip uses 0.35 micron chip technology, has a transistor count of 15.2
million, consumes 50 watts of power, and is air cooled (a fan is on the chip). The
default cache system is write-back.

Module LEDs
LED Name
Description (read LEDs from right to left on the
module)
2V_PWRGOOD_LED
Normally on. Indicates the presence of 2.XV.
SROM_CLK_LED
Normally off. Toggles on and off rapidly during the
SROM load phase.
DC_OK_LED
Normally on. Indicates the presence of DC_OK.
CPU_SELF_TEST_LED
Normally on. Indicates the status of self-test. If the LED
is off, there was an error or timeout after the SROM load.
