UP1000 owners/experts please review the following addition to HARDWARE.TXT.
I've never seen/used one myself so input is more than welcome.

+
+ 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.
