Introduction
Overview
The S1692S Tiger and S1692D Tiger 2 ATX are quality, high performance motherboards designed for Intel’s Pentium II microprocessors.
These motherboards utilize Intel’s 440LX AGP series chipset (also
called AGPset) and support Pentium II CPU speeds of 233MHz to
300MHz.
The S1692S/D mainboards with built-in AGP slot provide high performance capabilities that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as CAD, CAM, CAE, desktop publishing, 3D animation,
and video production. The S1692S/D boards are suitable as powerful
workstations, and as internet, intranet, file, network, and database
servers. The Tiger 2 S1692D ATX’s superior dual processor technology
increases performance and productivity drastically for multi-processor
enabled operating systems such as Microsoft Windows NT, Novell
Netware SMP, and SCO Unix.
These integrated system boards achieve high reliability with numerous
features and yet are small enough to be supported in ATX form-factors.
Some of the features included are onboard dual channel PCI
4
UltraDMA 33, onboard floppy controller, and onboard high speed I/O.
The S1692S/D boards are built to be both flexible and expandable. With
I/O and drive controller support built onboard, the five 32-bit PCI BUS
Master and two ISA slots (one shared, seven usable) are available for
add-on expansion cards.
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 regarding
!
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
paragraphs 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 instructions 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 alter the
settings on your motherboard.
INTRO
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 working 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 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 attempting to yourself (which can have expensive consequences).
If your dealer is unable to assist you:
try our web page – http:// www.tyan.com,
or user newsgroup – alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.tyan.

Board Installation
Unpacking
The mainboard package should contain the following:
S1692S/D mainboard
One IDE 40-pin cable
One 34-pin floppy cable
User’s manual
One retention module (S1692S)
or Two retention modules (S1692D)
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.
10
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board–holding
it by its edges–and place it on a grounded anti-static surface, component side up. Inspect the board for damage. Press down on any of the
socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly seated (the board
should still be on an anti-static mat). Do not touch the bottom of the
board.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
!
DAMAGED!
Installation
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern
of the S1692S/D matches the ATX system board specifications. Your
chassis should be that of a standard ATX mainboard form
factor.
Setting 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 not connected.
Jumpers and pins are connected by slipping the black plastic jumper
connector overtop of two adjacent jumper pins. The metal rod inside
the plastic shell bridges the gap between the two pins, completing the
circuit. See the pictures below for examples of “on” and “off” pins and
jumpers.

speaker is connected to pins 24-27 of jumper block J25.
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. The Reset
switch is a 2-pin connector and should be installed on pins 22 and 23 of
jumper block J25.
Windows 95 Users:
!
You may encounter problems with some of the devices in the Intel 82371AB
chipset. Neither the PCI Bridge nor the PCI Universal Serial BUS device
IDs for this chipset (also called PIIX4) are recognized by Windows 95.
This is a software problem, not a hardware problem, and can be easily
remedied by either upgrading to Windows 98 or downloading the 82371AB
patch found at http://www.tyan.com or at ftp://download.intel.com/design/pcisets/busmastr/setupex.exe. (Note: USB requires Windows 95 OSR
2.1 or above; please contact Microsoft for the USB update.)
ONBOARD
CMOS RTC
The 440LX AGPset includes an internal
battery and Real Time Clock circuit. The
RTC provides the date and time for the
system. If the battery is low, it will
prevent your system from POSTing, and
you will not get a display. Normally the
life span of an RTC internal battery is 10
years, but if yours is running low, you will
need to replace it with a new 3V lithium
battery (Duracell DL2032).

Chapter 3
Flash EEPROM
The S1692S/D uses flash memory to store BIOS programs. It can be
updated as new versions of the BIOS become available. You can
upgrade your BIOS easily using the flash utility (see page 56).
JP4 determines which type of EPROM is used. This jumper has been
set to match the onboard BIOS chip. The factory default for the
S1692S/D is on pins 1-2. Depending on the type of EPROM used,
some boards will have JP4 on pins 2-3.
Hardware CMOS & Password Reset
If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your
password or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below.
1. Power off the system
2. Set jumper JP3 to pins 2 and 3 (see previous page for
location of JP3).
3. Wait for 2 seconds, then return jumper JP3 to pins 1 and 2.
4. Power on the system again.
By following this procedure, you will erase your password and reset
the CMOS to the BIOS defaults.
DRAM Installation
The S1692S/D uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can
accommodate up to 1024MB of EDO RAM and 512MB of SDRAM.
SDRAMs (Synchronous DRAMs) are supported in the DIMM slots.
DIMMs must be of the unbuffered variety. The position of the notch
in the DRAM Key Position will tell you whether or not a DIMM is
unbuffered (see figure on the next page). All installed memory will be
automatically detected, so there is no need to set jumpers. The 440LX
AGPset can cache up to 512MB of RAM.

Installing the CPU
Pentium II processors (233 through 333MHz) can be used on the S1692S/
D. Please refer to page 15 for the correct CPU jumper settings for your
board. Although the S1692DL motherboard is designed as a dual CPU
system, it will also function with a single CPU.
The S1692S/D board provides two slots for Pentium II processors, called
the Pentium II primary and secondary slots. If only one CPU is used, that
CPU should be plugged into the primary slot. When two CPUs are used,
they should be of the same speed and type.
Remember:
s 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.
s When installing the CPU into the socket, match the CPU pins to
the socket pins. Note that one corner of the socket’s top is different
from the other three corners. Likewise, one corner of the CPU’s
bottom is different from the other three corners. Line the unique
socket corner up with the unique CPU corner.
s Before the CPU is installed, the mainboard must be placed on a
flat surface. You should be able to insert the CPU with minimal,
but firm, pressure. Do not press down hard on the CPU.
Active and Passive Processors
Currently, Intel produces two types of Pentium II processors: the active
(or boxed) processor and the passive processor (refer to the pictures on
the following page). These two types of processors are essentially the
same in design; the only difference lies in their cooling methods. The
active processor is equipped with a cooling fan and heat sink, while
the passive processor is equipped with a heat sink alone. Both types of
CPUs provide the user with the same performance, and both types can
be installed in the Pentium II slots on the S1692S/D board. Refer to
page 21 for instructions regarding the installation and removal of
Pentium II processors.

Installation of Pentium II Active (Boxed) Processors
Active processors are equipped with cooling fans. When installing an
active CPU, you also need to connect the cooling fan cable to its
connector.
Installing CPU Retention Modules
1. Installation of a Pentium II active processor requires a CPU
retention module, which is first secured onto the motherboard. (Refer
to the motherboard layout on page 13.)
2. To attach the retention module, place
the motherboard on a flat surface.
3. Locate the key pin on one end of the
Pentium II slot on the board. Then
carefully line up the key notch on the
retention module with the key pin on
the Pentium II slot (the key pin on the
Pentium II slot indicates the correct
Pentium II Slot Connector
and Key Pin
orientation of the CPU).
