Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Trinity 450™ is a hig h perf ormance m otherboa rd designed for serve r and perf ormance a pplicati ons
that require the po wer of the Int el® Pentium® III FC-PGA proces sor or a Cel eron® FC-PGA p rocessor.
This motherboard utilizes the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset and can support CPU speeds of 500 MHz
through 1 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:
http://www.tyan.com
This integrated p erfo rm an ce boa rd is su ppo rte d in an ATX form factor. Some of the features inc lude d are
onboard UltraDMA-33/66/100 support, and south bridge with integrated hardware monitoring.
With I/O and drive controller support onboard, the one 2x/4x mode AGP slot and five 32-bit PCI v2.2 slots
are free for numer ous typ es of add-o n expa nsion card s. The four 168-p in unb uffered DI MM so ckets can
support up to 2GB* of PC100 unbuffered memory or 1.5GB* of PC133 unbuffered SDRAM.
Remember to visit Tyan’s website at http://www.tyan.com. There you can find information on all of
Tyan’s products with FAQs, distributors list, and BIOS settings explanations.
* 2.0GB total memory @ 4 unbuffered DIMMs only, when using 100MHz SDRAM
1.5GB total memory @ 3 unbuffered DIMMs only, when using 133MHz SDRAM

1.4 Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first. Your system has most
likely been config ured by them , and they sh ould have the be st idea of what hardw are and so ftware your
system contains. Hence, they sh ou ld be of the mo st assist ance. Furthermore, if you p urch ase d you r system from a dealer n ear you, you can a ctually bring your syste m to them to have it serviced, instead of
attempting to do so yourself (which can have expensive consequences).
Help Resources:
1. See the FAQ and beep codes section of this manual.
2. See the Tyan website for FAQ, bulletins, driver updates, and other
information: http://www.tyan.com
3. Contact your dealer for help BEFORE calling Tyan.
4. Check the Tyan user group: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.tyan
1.5 Returning Merchandise for Service
During the warrant y period, contact you r distributor or syste m vendor FIRST for any product p roblems.
This warranty only cove rs no rm al cust ome r use and does n ot cove r da mag es incu rr ed du ring shi pp ing or
failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse, or improper maintenance of products.
NOTE: A receipt or co py o f your invoice mark ed wit h the date o f purch ase is requ ired befo re any
warranty service can be rendered. You may obtain service by calling the manufacturer for a
Return Merchan dise Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number sho uld be prominently displayed on the o ut sid e of the shipp i n g ca rton an d th e p ack ag e sh ou ld be m ail ed prep aid . Tyan will
pay to have the board shipped back to you.

Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The retail motherboard package should contain the following:
Trinity 450 motherboard
34-pin floppy cable
ATA-66/100 IDE cable (with blue connector)
Tri nit y 450 user’s manua l
Tyan driver CD
2.2 Installation
You are now rea dy to i n stall y our mo the rb oar d. T he m oun ting ho l e p atte rn of t he Trinity 4 50 mat che s the
ATX boa rd sp ecifi ca tion s, so your chassis must be capabl e of supp ort i ng an ATX board (check the motherboard dimensions provided on p. 5).
2.3 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 info rmation wh ich will make
configuration and setup much easier, as well as provide information on device installation and component
set up.. By reading through the manual complete ly before installing your motherboard, you will have a
complete overview on the installation.

http://www.tyan.com
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 antistatic 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, an d place it on a ground ed antistatic surface, component side up.
Inspect the board for damage.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socke ted ICs if it appe ars that t hey are not prope rly seated (the board shou ld
still be on an antistatic mat). Do n ot touch th e bottom of the board. Remember, don’t take any electronic
device out o f i ts p ro t ec ti v e bag un t i l y o u a r e r e ad y t o a c t ua ll y i n s tal l it i nto t he c o mp ute r ca s e . If yo u do n ot
ground yourself, yo u ri sk zapping the mo therb oard o r adap ter card . Subseq uent pr oble ms may not ari se
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 are inactive. See Figure
2.0a and Figure 2.0c for examples o f “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 p ages will help you set the jum pers for CPU speed, infr ared, 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.

1. Power off the system, and disconnect the power supply
2. Close pins 2-3 on JP11 (see mini-map for location of JP11)
3. Wait about three seconds
4. Move jumper back to 1-2, then power on the system again
By following this procedure, you will erase your password and reset the CMOS.
2.6-C. USB Connector (USB1)^

In addition to installing your CPU, Tyan highly recommends that you install a CPU fan/heatsink combination, and if n eeded, addi tional ch assis fans . To this end Tyan has provided several connectors to power
the fan(s), as well as the fan pinout (shown above). Here is some information you may find useful:
- We rec ommend you use FAN3 and FAN4 for the CPU cooling fans
- All other fan connectors are left to the user’s discretion

2.7 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
Your chassis m ay include moun ting hardwar e. If mounting hardware was included, yo u can use the fo llowing examples to help you in installing your motherboard into the chassis.
The chassis may h ave com e with th e studs integrated in to t he cha ssis wa ll, so in t hose 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.
