Introduction
Overview
TheS1830S and S1830SL (S1830) Tsunami ATis aquality, high performance
mainboard designed for Intel Pentium II and Celeron microprocessors. This
mainboard utilizes the Intel 440BX AGPset and can support CPU speeds of
233MHz through 450MHz, and host bus speeds of 66MHz or 100MHz. The
Tsunami AT also has 100MHz Front Side Bus support, which allows you to
takefull advantage of100MHz SDRAM memorymodules.
The S1830 mainboard, with built-in AGP slot, provides high performance
capabilities that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as
CAD, CAM, CAE, desktop publishing, 3D animation, and video production.
This integrated system board achieves high reliability with numerous features
and yet is small enough to be supported in a Baby AT form factor. Some of the
features included are onboard dual channel PCI PIO, Bus Master IDE and
UltraDMA/33, onboard floppy controller, and onboard high speed I/O.
Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Tsunami AT. With I/
O and drive controller support built onboard, the one AGP slot, four PCI and
four ISA slots (one shared, eight usable) are free for numerous add-on
epansion cards.

Icons
In order to help you navigate this manual and set up your system, we have
added several icons to our format.
This icon alerts you to particularly important details regarding the
setup or maintenance of your system. This icon often appears next
to information that may keep you from damaging your board or
system. While we will often point out the most vital paragraphs in a
chapter, you should always read every word in the text. Failing to do so can
lead to exasperation and expense.
Wherever possible, we have included step-by-step instructions for
setting up your system, which are indicated by this icon. However,
it is in your best interest to read an entire section (and perhaps the
entire manual) before you begin to fiddle with your motherboard.
While we have alerted you to potential dangers in several places
in the manual with this icon, these warnings should not be
regarded as the whole of your safety regimen. Never forget that
computers are electrical devices, and are capable of delivering a
shock. Prevent damage to yourself and to your board: always ensure that your
system is turned off and unplugged whenever you are working with it, and that
you are equipped with a static safety device.

Introduction
TechnicalSupport
If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help
first. Your system has most likely been configured by them, and they should
have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains.
Hence, they should be of the most assistance. Further, if you purchased your
system from a dealer near to you, you can actually bring your system in to
them to have it serviced, instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can
have expensive consequences).
Helpresources:
1. See FAQ and beep codes sections of this manual.
2. See Tyan web site for FAQ, bulletins, driver updates, etc.
http://www.tyan.com
3. Contact your dealer or distributor for help BEFORE calling Tyan.
4. Check the Tyan user group: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.tyan
5. Email Tyan tech support: [email protected]
6. Call Tyan tech support: 510-440-8808
ReturningMerchandiseforService
During the warranty period, contact your distributor or system vendor FIRST
for any product problems. This warranty only covers normal customer use and
does not cover damages incurred during shipping or failure due to the
alteration, misuse, abuse, or improper maintenance of products.
ForResellersOnly:
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required
before any warranty service can be rendered. You can obtain service by calling
the manufacturer for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The
RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping
carton and the package should be mailed prepaid, or hand-carried to the
manufacturer. TYAN will pay to have the board shipped back to you.
