Cpu Interrupt Assignment - Digital Equipment AlphaPC64 User Manual

The AlphaPC64 interrupt controller has 17 interrupts: four from each of the
four PCI slots (16) and one from the SIO bridge.
All PCI interrupts are combined in the PLD and drive a single output signal,
pci_isa_irq. This signal drives CPU input cpu_irq0 through a multiplexer.
There is also a memory controller error interrupt and an I/O controller error
interrupt within the CPU.
Table 4–1 lists the CPU interrupt assignment during normal operation.

Three jumpers (J3-3, J3-5, and J3-7) connect to one side of the multiplexer.
The jumper configuration sets the CPU clock multiplier value through the
cpu_irqn inputs during reset.
