Introduction
Overview
The S1854 Trinity 400 is a quality, high performance motherboard designed for
Socket 370 Intel Celeron and Slot 1 Intel PII/ PIII microprocessors. The Trinity
400 utilizes the VIAVT82C694X withAward BIOS for S1854 & S1854-A
models. S1854 can support Celeron/ PII/ PIII CPU speeds of 300MHz through
600MHz, and host bus speeds of 66MHz to 133MHz, the VIA chipsets bus
speed is Auto-Determined by the CPU. The S1854 motherboard, with built-in
4x AGP slot, provides high performance capabilities that are ideal for a wide
range of demanding applications such as CAD, CAM, CAE, desktop publish-
ing, 3D animation, 3D Games and video production.
This system board in an ATX form factor offers far more features and
expandability than Micro ATX models. Some of the features included are
onboard dual channel PCI PIO, Bus Master IDE and UltraDMA/66, onboard
floppy controller, and onboard high speed I/O.
Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Trinity 400. With I/O
and drive controller support built onboard, the one AGP slot, six PCI, a total of
seven usable are free for numerous add-on expansion cards. Remember to take
a look at TYAN Computers web site located at
http://www.tyan.com. There you can find information on all of TYANs prod-
ucts along with FAQs, distributors list, drivers, and BIOS setting explanations.

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
Technical Support
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 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). Please refer to your dealer for specific warranty
coverage details.
Help resources:
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
Returning Merchandise for Service
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.
For Resellers Only:
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.
