Overview
The S1576S is a quality, high performance mainboard designed for
Intel Pentium microprocessors. This mainboard utilizes the Intel
430TX chipset and can support CPU speeds of 75MHz through
233MHz. The S1576S will also support the Cyrix M1 (6x86) and M2
(6x86MX) CPU’s, the AMD K5 and K6 CPU’s, and the Intel multime-
dia Pentium P55C and P54CTB (MMX Overdrive) CPU’s.
The S1576S’s PCI Local Bus provides high performance capabilities
that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as
CAD, CAM, CAE, networking, multi-user environments, database
management, desktop publishing, image processing and 3D animation.
This integrated system board achieves high reliability with numerous
features and yet is small enough to be supported in an ATX form-
factor. Some of the features included are onboard dual channel PCI
PIO, BUS Master IDE and UltraDMA/33, onboard floppy controller,
onboard high speed I/O, and support for pipeline-burst SRAM.

INTRO
Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the S1576S.
With I/O and drive controller support built onboard, the five PCI and
three ISA slots (one ISA and one PCI as a shared slot) are free for
numerous add-on expansion cards.
Remember to take a look at TYAN Computer’s web site located at

TYAN’s products along with FAQs, distributors list, drivers and
CMOS setting explanations. If you have a tech support question please

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 regard-
ing 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 para-
graphs 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 instruc-
tions 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 this 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 burn
or shock. Prevent damage to yourself and to your board: always ensure
that your system is turned off and unplugged whenever you are work-
ing with it, and that you are equipped with a static safety device.

Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system, you should first turn to your
dealer for help. Your system has most likely been configured by them,
and so they should have the best idea of what hardware and software
your system contains. Hence, they should be able to 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 fooling with it yourself (which can have expensive conse-
quences). If your dealer is unable to assist you:
Try our web page – http:// www.tyan.com,
or user newsgroup – 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 Authori-
zation (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. Shipping and
handling charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed
when service is complete.

Board Installation
Unpacking
The mainboard package should contain the following:
•S1576S Mainboard
•One IDE 40 pin cable
•One 34 pin floppy cable
•User’s Manual
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be
easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in
its original packaging until it is ready to be installed.
With the power supply plugged in and turned off, touch an unpainted
area of the system chassis immediately before handling the mainboard
or any component. Doing so discharges any static charge your body
may have acquired.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board-holding
it by its edges-and place it on a grounded anti-static surface, compo-
nent side up. Inspect the board for damage. Press down on any of the
