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
133A chipset (VT82C694X) with A ward 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 4x 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, 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
V irtual Channel Memory SDRAM support.
Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Tiger 133. W ith 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

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 T yan web site for FAQ, bulletins, driver updates, etc.
http://www.tyan.com
3. Contact your dealer or distributor for help BEFORE calling T yan.
4. Check the T yan 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 Installation
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) A void 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, and place it
on a grounded antistatic surface, component side up. Inspect the board for
damage.
DO NOT APPL Y POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!

important!
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 discharge damage, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.

Quick References for Jumpers
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 the Figure 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.

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 Hardware 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 Intrusion Alarm 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.

CMOS RTC
(Clr CMOS)
The Real Time Clock (R TC) circuit, which provides the date and time for the
system is integrated into the Via Apollo Pro Plus 133A AGPset. 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. Y ou 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 installation 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
important!
guarantee real-world usability . Some cheaper or OEM memory may have brandname 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 TY AN 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, QesT ec
Incorporated, Unigen, Micron T echnology, and Crucial T echnology. These
DIMMs have proven to be very stable on our boards and perform extremely
well. Please check the TY AN website for more information and updates about
memory compatibility: www .tyan.com

warning
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.
T o 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.
T o 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).
T o 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 accommodate up to 2 GB of PC100 SDRAM and up to 1.5GB of PC133 SDRAM. The
168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) must be of the 3.3V,
unbuffered, non-ECC 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

4. Installing the CPU and Cooling Fan
Slot 1 type Pentium II/III can be used on the Tiger 133. Please refer to page 15 for
the correct CPU jumper settings for your CPU. Remember:
• The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can easily be damaged
by static electricity . Do not touch the CPU pins with your fingers. You
should be able to insert the CPU into the slot with very little force. Do not
press down hard on the CPU as you will bend or break pins and possibly
damage your motherboard.
• After the CPU is securely seated, install the appropriate cooling device.
T yan strongly recommends a heatsink/fan combination. Consult with your
case manufacturer for other cooling options.
Installing Slot1 T ype CPUs
Using a cooling mechanism for processors is extremely important. The active
cooler shown in Figure 2-9 below is equipped with a cooling fan and heat sink,
allowing better air flow and heat dissipation for the CPU. The size of the
cooling mechanism will not interfere with CPU installation. The CPU will fit
with ease into the CPU slot of the Tiger 133 board.
