3 AlphaPC 164SX Switch Configuration The AlphaPC 164SX motherboard has a switchpack located at SW1, as shown previously in Figure 2–1. These switches set the hardware configuration. Figure 3–1 shows these switch configurations. 3.1 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 Mini- Debugge
