Introduction
Overview
The S1894SLATigercub 100 Micro ATX is a quality, high performance
motherboard designed for Intel Pentium II microprocessors. This motherboard
utilizes the Intel 440BX / 440ZX or VIAAGPset and can support CPU speeds
of 233MHz through 450MHz, and host bus speeds of 66MHz to 100MHz.
The S1894SLAmotherboard, 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 Micro ATX form factor. Some of
the features included are onboard dual channel PCI PIO, BUS Master IDE and
UltraDMA/33, onboard Ensoniq 1371 PCI Wavetable sound, onboard floppy
controller, and onboard high speed I/O.
Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Tigercub 100. With I/
O and drive controller support built onboard, the one AGP slot, three PCI and
one ISA slots (one shared, four usable) are free for add-on expansion 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.

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 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).
If your dealer is unable to assist you,
(1) Try our web page: http://www.tyan.com
(2) User Newsgroup: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.tyan
