that require the power of dual Intel® Pentium® III FC-PGA processors or a single Celeron® FC-PGA processor. This motherboard utilizes the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset and can support CPU speeds of 500
MHz through 1 GHz and fron t side bus speed s of 100 MHz or 1 33 MHz. Pleas e see Tyan’s website for
updates and information concerning CPU information and support:
http://www.tyan.com
This integrated perfo rman c e boa rd is suppo rted in an ATX form factor. Some of the features included are
onboard UltraDMA-33/66/100 support, and sound 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 num erous types of add -on e xpansion card s. The four 168-p in D IMM so ckets ca n supp ort up
to 2GB* of PC100 memory or 1.5GB* of PC133 SDRAM.
Remember to visit Tyan’s website at http://www.tyan.com. T here you can find information on all of
Tyan’s products with FAQs, distributors list, and BIOS settings explanations.
* 2.0GB total memory @ 4 DIMMs only, when using 100MHz SDRAM

1.4 Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system , you should turn to your dealer for he lp first. Your system has most
likely been configure d by t hem, a nd the y should have the best ide a of wh at har dware and so ftwa re your
system contains. Hence, they shou ld be of the mo st assist anc e. F urt her more, if you p urch ase d you r system from a dealer near you, you can actual ly bring your system t o them to have it service d, 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 warranty pe riod, contact your d istributor or system ve ndor FIRST for any product prob lems.
This warranty only covers no rm al cust ome r use and does n ot cove r da mag es i ncu rr ed du ring shipp i ng or
failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse, or improper maintenance of products.
NOTE: A receipt or cop y of your invo ice ma rked with t he da te of pur chas e is re quir ed be fore any
warranty service can be rendered. You may obtain service by calling the manufacturer for a
Return Merchandis e Authorization (RM A) number. The RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outsid e of the sh ipp in g ca rt on an d th e p ack ag e sh ou ld be m ail ed pr ep 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:
Tiger 230 mothe rboa rd
34-pin floppy cable
ATA-66/100 IDE cable (with blue connector)
Tiger 230 user’s manual
Tyan driver CD
2.2 Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mount ing hole patter n of the Tiger 230 match es the
ATX board specifications, so your chassis must be capa ble of supporting 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 information 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 completely 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, and pl ace it on a grounded a ntistatic surface, com ponent side up.
Inspect the board for damage.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER T O THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socketed ICs if it appear s that they are no t properly sea ted (the boa rd should
still be on an antistatic mat). Do not touc h the bottom of the boa rd. Remember, don’t take any elect ronic
device out o f it s p ro t ect i v e ba g un t i l y o u a r e r e ad y t o a c t ual l y i n s tal l i t int o t he c o mp ute r ca s e . If y o u do n ot
ground yourself, you r isk zappi ng the mothe rboard o r adap ter card . Sub sequen t prob lems 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 “close d” and “on” are used wh en referring to jumpers (or jumper pins) that are
active; “open” and “off” a re u s ed whe n re fer ring to j u mp ers (or j um per pin s) that are inactive. See Figure
2.0a and Figure 2.0c for examples of “on” and “off” pins and jumpers.
Jumpers and pins are connec ted by slipping the plastic jum per connector over the top of tw o adjacent
jumper pins (indica ted b y 1-2 or 2-3 ). Th e met al r od insid e the plast ic shell bridg es the gap b etween the
two pins, completing the circ uit. 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.

In addition to installing your CPU, Tyan highly recommends that you install a CPU fan/heatsink combination, and if needed , additi onal chassis fans. To this end Tyan has provided seve ral conne ctors to p ower
the fan(s), as well as the fan pinout (shown above). Here is some information you may find useful:
- We recommend you use FAN3 and FAN4 for the CPU cooling fans
- All other fan connectors are left to the user’s discretion

The soft power connector is part of jumpe r block J1 (p ins 6 to 8). This bo ard uses the ch ipset for pow er
management, including tur ning on and off the system. If the power b utton function option in the BIOS
Power Management me nu is set to “On/Off” (wh ich is the d efault), pr essing the p ower button once after
the BIOS has booted up will turn the system on a nd off. If the power button functio n is set to Suspend,
pressing the power button once will wake up t he system or send it to Suspend mode. In this case, you
cannot turn the system off unless yo u shut d own through the Windo ws oper ating system o r you ho ld the
power button down for four seconds.

2.7 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
Your chassis may include mounting hardware. If mounting hardware w as included, yo u can use the fo llowing examples to help you in installing your motherboard into the chassis.
The chassis may have com e wit h th e stud s int egr ate d in to t he cha ssis wa ll, so in t hose ca ses you wou ld
only need to use scre ws (p ossibly i nclude d with you r chass is) to instal l the m other board . See the ex amples (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 using the mounting hardware as shown in t he examples below. Remember not to overtighten any of the sc rews, or you might risk breaking i nternal tr aces in the su rroundi ng area, or damage
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.
