1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The S1668 is a quality, high performance dual processor mainboard based
on the powerful Intel Pentium Pro microprocessors. This mainboard is
designed around the latest and fastest Intel 440FX chipset and can support
CPU speeds of 150MHz through 200MHz.
The S1668 supports EDO memory, Burst EDO, ECC and memory parity
checking.The S1668's PCI Local Bus provides high performance capabili-
ties that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as:
CAD, CAM, CAE, networking, multi-user environments, database man-
agement,desktop publishing,image processingand 3Danimation.
This integrated system board achieves the highest reliability and features
the industry standard "ATX" form factor. Some of the features included
are: on-board dual channel PCI IDE, on-board floppy controller, on-board
high speed I/O, Universal Serial Bus and on-board PS/2 mouse connector.
Flexibilityand expandibilityhave beendesigned intothe S1668.With I/O
and drive controller support built on-board, the five PCI and three ISA
(One ISA and one PCI as a shared slot) slots are free for add-on expansion
cards. With eight SIMM sockets, the S1668 can provide a very
flexible memory configuration of 8MB to 1024MB of RAM.With the
S1668's support for dual Pentium Pro processors, you can start a system
with just one CPU, and later add another, when more processing power is
required.

2. Board Installation
2.1Unpacking
Themainboard packageshould containthe following:
S1668Mainboard
One IDE 40 pin cable
One 34 pin floppy cable
User's Manual
OptionalVRM(Voltage Regulator Module)
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original
packaging until it is ready to be installed.
With the power supply pluged in and turned off touch an unpainted area of
the system chassis imedietly before handling the mainboard or any compo-
nent. Doing so discharges the static charge your body may have built.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board holding it by
its edges ,and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface, component
side up. Inspect the board for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's
to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only with the board
placed on an anti-static mat. Do not touch the bottom of the board.
DO NOTAPPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED!
2.2 Installation
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the S1668 matches the ATX system board spec. It is assumed that the
chassis is for a standard ATX mainboard form factor.

3.3 CMOS RTC
CMOS RTC includes an internal battery and Real Time Clock circuit. It
provides the date and the time for the system. Normally the life span of a
RTC internal battery is 10 years. When replacing, you should use the same
model.
3.4 Speaker Connector Installation
S1668 provides a 4-Pin header (J43) to connect the speaker. The polarity
can go either way.
3.5 Turbo Switch
The front panel on your case may have a turbo switch to control system
speed when slower program execution is required for software developed
in the old XT days. The Intel 44FX chipset doesn't support a de-turbo
mode, but the S1668 has a connector (J47) for the cable that may come has
a connector (J47) for the cable that may come with the case.with the case.
3.6 Turbo LED Connector Installation
The TURBO LED on the front case panel can indicate the current speed
status of the system. The TURBO LED connector should be installed to
J42 in the correct direction.

12S1668-ATX-001 http://www.tyan.com
3.7 Hardware Reset Switch Connector Installation
The RESET switch on your cases' display panel provides users with the
HARDWARE RESET function which is the same as power on/off. The
system will do a cold start after the RESET switch is pushed by the user.
The RESET switch is a 2 pin connector and should be installed on jumper
J45.
3.8 Flash EEPROM-Jumper J32
The S1668 uses flash memory to store BIOS data. It can be updated as
new versions of the BIOS becomes available. The flash utility will guide
you through the process step by step. If your system is functioning properly,
you may want to forego updating your BIOS in the event the new one
causes problems with your existing hardware and software.
J32 determines which type of EPROM is used. This jumper has been set to
match the on board BIOS chip. The factory default for the S1668 is on pins
1-2.
Refer to chapter 6 for Flash EEPROM upgrade procedures.
3.9 Hardware CMOS & Password Reset
(The following steps are valid provided the board has a DS12887A RTC)
If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your pass-
word or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below.
a. Power off the system
b. Short jumper J41.
c. Wait for 5 seconds then remove the jumper from J41.
d.Then power on the system again.
Bydoing theaboveprocedures, yourpassword willbeerased andtheCMOS
will be reset to the BIOS defaults.

13S1668-ATX-001 http://www.tyan.com
3.10 DRAM Installation
The S1668 uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can
accommodate up to 1024 MB of RAM. The mainboard supports
standard, EDO (Extended Data Out) and ECC(Error Correcting Code)
72 pin SIMMS . All installed memory will be automatically detected so
there is no need to set jumpers.
SIMM modules must be installed in pairs.
Each pair of SIMMs must be of the same size and type.
The mainboard supports 1, 2, 4, 8, 16x32 or 32MBx32 SIMMS.
The table on the following page shows some of the available memory
configurations.
Voltage ID for Older Pentium Pro CPU's: J10 and J20
Most Pentium Pro CPU's will program the VRM to output
the correct voltage it requires, so these jumper are not important
and should be left open. Some early versions of the Pentium Pro
cannot program the VRM so you have to set these jumper manually.
J10 and J20 each have eight pins and are numbered as follows.

1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is up. To raise the lever, pull it out
to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. The top plate will
slide back.
2. Align the CPU and socket Pin 1 corners. The pins on the bottom
of the CPU should align with the rows of holes in the socket.
3. Insert the CPU in the socket. It should insert easily. If it does
not, adjust the position of the lever a little.
4. Press the lever down. The top plate will slide forward. You will
feel some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in
the socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the
side of the socket in the down position.
3.11 CPU Installation
Many types of Pentium Pro (150 thru 200 MHz) CPUs can be used on
the S1668. Please refer to the previous pages for the correct CPU jumper
settings for your board.
The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can be easily
damaged by static electricity. Do not touch the CPU pins with your
fingers.
When installing the CPU into the socket, match the CPU pins to the
socket pins.
Before the CPU is installed, the mainboard must be placed on a flat
plane in order to avoid being broken by the pressure of CPU insertion.
A cooling fan and heat sink assembly is required to protect the
CPU from being damaged.

16S1668-ATX-001 http://www.tyan.com
3.12VRMInstallation
The VRM is required for the Pentium Pro to work. The CPU will
program the VRM for the correct voltage needed. No jumper settings
are needed, just install the VRM into the VRM socket nearest the
CPU that is being installed. The VRM can only fit in the socket one
way so there is no danger of installing it incorrectly. Not all VRM's
will work in the S1668. Make sure you purchased a qualified VRM.
VRM socket 0 is for CPU socket 0.
VRM socket 1 is for CPU socket 1.
again, and prepare to power-on the system.
3.14ConnectingthePowerSupply&On/OffSwitch
The system power supply connectors on the mainboard is for a
standard ATX power supply. It can only be plugged in one way and
shouldinstall ineasily.
ATX cases have an on/off switch that can be used to turn on or off
theATX powersupply without having to use the switch that is on
the back of the powersupply.Use jumper J1 is for the on/off button from the
system case.
3.13PeripheralDeviceInstallation
Afterall the jumpersonthe mainboardhave beenset,then itcanbe mounted
into the case. Then proceed to install the display card and any other
peripheral devices.
If a PCI-Bus interface card is to be installed in the system, any one of the
four PCI-Bus slots can support either a Master or a Slave device.
After installing the peripheral controller, the user should check everything
