Introduction
Overview
The S1834 Tiger 133 is a quality, high performance motherboard designed for
dual Intel PII / PIII microprocessors. The Tiger 133 utilizes the VIA Apollo Pro
133Achipset (VT82C694X) with Award BIOS. The S1834 can support CPU
speeds of 450MHz through 800+MHz, and host bus speeds of 100 MHz to 133
MHz (the VIA chipsets bus speed is Auto-Determined by the CPU). The S1834
motherboard, with built-in 4xAGP slot, provides high performance capabilities
that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as CAD, CAM,
CAE, desktop publishing, 3D animation, 3D Games and video production.
This system board in an ATX form factor offers far more features and
expandability than other 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, PC133 SDRAM support, and
Virtual Channel Memory SDRAM support.
Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Tiger 133. With I/O
and drive controller support built onboard, the one AGP slot plus six PCI gives
a total of seven usable slots for numerous add-on expansion cards. Remember
to visit TYAN Computers web site located at http://www.tyan.com. There you
can find information on all of TYANs products along with FAQs, distributors
list, and drivers.

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 install 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.

Board Installation
Unpacking
The motherboard package should contain the following:
(1) S1834 mainboard
(1) 34-pin floppy cable pack
(1) 80-pinATA-66 IDE cable
(1) S1834 Users Manual

Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the S1834 matches the ATX system board specifications. Your chassis should
support a standard ATX mainboard form factor.
How to install our products right...the first time.
Whats the first thing I should do?
The first thing you should do is read this users manual. It contains important
information which will make configuration and setup much easier.
Here are some precautions you should follow when installing your mother-

board:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard
from the antistatic bag. Unplug the power from your computer
and then touch any metal part on the computer case. (Or wear a
grounded wrist strap.)
(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of
the board.
(3) Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,
and leads.
(4) Avoid touching pins of memory modules and chips.
(5) Place motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the
antistatic bag.
Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the mother-
board out of the cardboard box and static bag, hold it by its edges, and place it
on a grounded antistatic surface, component side up. Inspect the board for
damage.
DO NOTAPPLYPOWERTOTHE BOARD IF ITHAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly
seated (the board should still be on an antistatic mat). Do not touch the bottom
of the board. Remember, dont take any electronic device out of its protective
bag until you are ready to actually install it into the computer case. If you do
not ground yourself, you risk zapping the motherboard or adapter card.
Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic dis-
charge damage, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.
