FC-PGA processor. This motherboard utilizes the VIA Apollo Pro133T chipset and can support CPU
speeds of 500 MHz through 1.13+ GHz and front side bus speeds of 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Please see
Tyan’s website for updates and information concerning CPU information and support:
This integrated p erfo rm an ce boa rd is su ppo rte d in an ATX form factor. Some of the features incl ude d are
onboard UltraDMA -1 00 /66/ 33 sup por t, and ( optional) Promise
With I/O and drive control ler su pport onboar d, the five 3 2-bi t PCI v2.2 sl ots and o ne IS A slot are f ree for
numerous types of add-o n expansion cards. The four 168-pin DIMM socke ts can support up to 2GB* of
buffered or unbuffered PC100 SDRAM, or up to 1.5GB of buffered or unbuffered PC133 SDRAM.

Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.1 Installation
Once you’ve checked that everythin g is inside the box (se e p. 4 for detail s), you are then ready to inst all
your motherboa rd. T he mo untin g hole pattern of th e motherboard match es t he ATX board specifi ca ti on s,
so your chassis must be cap able of supporting an ATX board (check the mothe rboard dimensions p rovided on p. 7).
2.2 How to install our products right.. the first time.
Question: what’s the first thing I should do?
The first thing you should do is read the user’s manual. It contains important information which will make
configuration and setup much easier, as well as provide information on device installation and component
setup. By reading through the manual completely before installing your motherboard, you will have a
complete overview on the installation.
2.3 Here are some safety tips:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag. Unplug
the power from your computer power supply and touch any metal part on the computer case. (You
might also want to 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 surface or on the antistatic bag.
Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the motherboard out of the cardboard box
and static bag, hold it by its edges, and place it on a grounded antistatic surface (such as the bag it came
in), component side up. Then, inspect the board for damage.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socketed ICs if it appears that they are not properly seated (the board should
still be on an antistatic mat or on top of the bag it came in). 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 start installing
it into the computer case (e.g. setting jumpers, etc.) If you do not ground yourself, you risk zapping the
motherboard or adapter card. Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic discharge, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.

2.4 Quick References for Jumpers
In this manual, the term “closed” and “on” are used when referring to jump ers (or jumper pins) th at are
active; “open” a nd “off” a re u sed whe n re fer ri ng to ju mp ers (or jumper pin s) th at a re inactive. See Figure
2.0a and Figure 2.0c for examples of “on” and “off” pins and jumpers.
Jumpers and pins are con nected by slipping the plasti c jumper connector over the top of two adjacent
jumper pins ( indicated by 1- 2 or 2-3). The met al rod inside t he plastic sh ell b ridges the ga p betw een the
two pins, completin g the circuit. See Figure 2 .0b and Figure 2.0d for more examples of 3-pin jumper
connections. NOTE: The small number “1” indicates pin 1.
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. Full page maps of the motherboard can be found on the next two pages.

2.7 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
Yo ur chassis may includ e mounting hardware. If m ounting har dware was included, you can use the following examples to help you in installing your motherboard into the chassis.
The chassis may h ave com e with th e studs integrated into t he chassis wall, so in those ca ses you wou ld
only need to us e scre ws (possib ly inclu ded wi th you r chass is) to i nstall th e mot herboa rd. S ee the examples (Figure 2.0, shown below) for more details.
If the chassis includes mounting hardware without the studs pre-installed, then you will need to install the
motherboard usin g the mounting hardware as sho wn in the examples below. Remember not to overtighten any of th e screws, or you migh t risk breaki ng intern al traces i n the surroun ding ar ea, or dam age
the motherboard in some other way.
Other examples of how to install your motherboard using other hardware (that may or may not have been
included with your chassis) are shown below.
