will be displayed only on the terminal attached to the COM1 serial port.
2.5 Switching to the Debug Monitor Firmware on Flash ROM
Systems
This section describes how to switch to the Debug Monitor firmware from either the
Windows NT ARC firmware or the Alpha SRM Console firmware on the
EB164, AlphaPC 64, EB66+, and EB64+.
Note: Except for the AlphaPC 64, the AlphaPC motherboards support only one
firmware in the flash ROM, thus, you cannot switch to the Debug
Monitor firmware from AlphaBIOS, Windows NT ARC firmware, or
Alpha SRM Console firmware. You must reprogram the flash ROM if
you wish to run the Debug Monitor firmware instead of the Windows
NT firmware or Alpha SRM Console firmware.
Switching from Windows NT ARC Firmware
If your Windows NT ARC firmware is prior to Version 4.42, see your motherboard’s
user’s manual on how to set the Boot Option jumper to switch to the Debug Monitor
firmware from the Windows NT ARC firmware.
If your Windows NT ARC firmware is Version 4.42 or higher, use the following
procedure to switch to the Debug Monitor firmware from the Windows NT ARC
firmware:
1. From the Boot menu, choose Supplementary menu...
2. From the Supplementary menu, choose Set up the system...
3. From the Setup menu, choose Machine specific setup...
4. From the Machine specific setup menu, choose Switch to Debug Monitor.
5. Restart your motherboard system.
6. Observe the Debug Monitor prompt on the terminal attached to the COM1 serial
port or on the graphics display unit.
