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:
(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.

In this manual, the terms closed and on are used when referring to jumpers
(or jumper pins) that are active; open and off are used when referring to
jumpers (or jumper pins) that are inactive. See theFigure 2-1 for examples of
on and off pins and jumpers.
Jumpers and pins are connected by slipping the plastic jumper connector
overtop of two adjacent jumper pins (indicated by 1-2 or 2-3). The metal rod
inside the plastic shell bridges the gap between the two pins, completing the
circuit. See Figure 2-2 for more example of pin connections.
Figure 2-1 Figure 2-2
The tables and maps on the following pages will help you set the jumpers for
CPU speed, Infrared, and external connector pin assignments, among others.
The miniature motherboard maps will help you locate the jumpers on your board.

1. Setting Jumpers
1-A. CPU Speed Settings (Jumpers JP4, JP5, JP6, JP7)
There are two steps to set the CPU speed. First, set the clock multiplier with
jumpers JP4 -7 according to the specification of your CPU using the chart
below. After the system is ready to boot the BUS Speed is auto-detected.
Presently all Celeron CPUs use a 66MHz bus speed. (Tyan does not recom-
mend operating CPUs, memory, or PCI Bus at higher than rated speed. Tyan
takes no responsibility for any problems related to overclocking any bus or
component on the system board.)

1-F. Soft Power Connector
The Soft Power Connector is part of jumper block J10. The Tiger 133 uses the
chipset for power management, including turning on and off the system. If the
Power Button Function option in the BIOS Power Management Menu is set to
On/Off (which is the default), pressing the power button once after the BIOS
has booted up will turn the system on and off. If the Power Button Function
option is set to Suspend, pressing the power button once will wake the system
or send it to Suspend mode. In this case, you cannot turn the system off
unless you shut down through the Windows operating system or you hold the
power button down for four seconds.
1-G. Hardware Reset Switch Connector Installation
The Reset switch on your cases display panel provides you with the Hard-
ware Reset function, which is the same as power on/off. The system will do a
cold start after the Reset button is pushed. (J10 pin 5 & 7 for example).
1-H. Chassis IntrusionAlarm Connector (JP14)
The JP14 connector is an intrusion alarm that can be connected to the system
chassis. When active (JP14 is connected to the chassis), this alarm will alert
the system administrator anytime someone opens the systems case.
1-I. Power LED Connector
Refer to panel connector J10 for 2 pin
LEDs. 3 pin LEDs can still be used on
J10 where pin 13 would be for the
Ground pin.
1-J. Server Management Connector
(J11)
J11 is reserved for server management
hardware connection.
CMOS RTC
The Real Time Clock (RTC) circuit, which provides the date and time for the
system is integrated into the Via Apollo Pro Plus 133AAGPset. If the external
battery for the RTC is low, it will prevent your system from POSTing, and you
will not get a display. Normally the life span of an external battery is 2 years. If
yours is running low, you will need to replace it with a new 3V lithium battery
(Sony CR2032).

Flash EEPROM
The Tiger 133 uses flash memory to store BIOS firmware. It can be updated as
new versions of the BIOS become available. You can upgrade your BIOS easily
using the flash utility (see page 59).
2. Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installa-
tion guidelines. TYAN recommends that you use screw down the motherboard.
with all the mounting holes provided. If your case does not have a hole for a
standoff, simply cut off the bottom of the plastic standoff so that the flat
portion rests on the metal. The adapter cards and the screws holding them
down will keep your board flat. The fastening screw should not short any of
the traces on the motherboard. Make certain that you do not overtighten the
screw, as it will damage the motherboard and possibly break internal traces in
the surrounding area. The hole you should use is located at the top-center of
the board where the adapter cards are fastened to the case.
3. Installing Memory
Since TYAN boards are manufactured with performance in mind, you should
use add-in components that match. It is highly recommended that the memory
DIMMs are installed prior to connecting the power supply. Some DIMM
modules may seem to be high quality because of name or feel but that does not
guarantee real-world usability. Some cheaper or OEM memory may have brand-
name components, but they may contain inferior or substandard parts which
do not meet the critical tolerances our products require. Because of this, your
memory may not work correctly in a TYAN board though it may work well in a
competitors board. This is because many of our competitors do not adhere to
the strict tolerances required for high performance. If you buy a TYAN board,
you are getting the best system available. To make installation easy and
trouble free, get high quality parts. Some brands we recommend are Advantage
Memory, Corsair Microsystems, Millenium, Kingston Memory, QesTec
Incorporated, Unigen, Micron Technology, and Crucial Technology. These
DIMMs have proven to be very stable on our boards and perform extremely
well.

Board Installation
This motherboard operates on a 3.3 volt standby for the DIMM banks .
Because of this, you need to UNPLUG the AC power cord before installing
your DIMM memory modules. Otherwise, the motherboard may automatically
power up when the memory is inserted into the slot.
Figure 2-5*
*Note: The image above is used to illustrate a concept and may not represent the actual
image of your motherboard.
To install your DIMMs, line your module up so that the pins fit into the slot.
There is only one way that your DIMM can fit properly. Make sure that the
short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM slot. Figure 2-5
shows how to sit the DIMM into its slot. To insert the DIMM, push down
vertically on the module with even force, as shown in the photo. Do not shove
one end in first; doing so will bend the DIMM pins.
To lock the DIMM into place, push the plastic clips on either end of the slot
onto the notches in the ends of the DIMM (see Figure 2-6 on the next page).
To remove your DIMM, simply pull the clips back, and pull up on the module.
Place the DIMMs in an anti-static bag as soon as you remove them to avoid
static damage.

The Tiger 133 uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can accommo-
date up to 2 GB of PC100 SDRAM and up to 1.5GB of PC133 SDRAM or VCM.
The 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) must be of the 3.3V,
unbuffered variety. The position of the notch in the SDRAM key position will
tell you whether or not a DIMM is unbuffered (see the Figure 2-7 below). All
installed memory will be automatically detected, so there is no need to set any
jumpers.
