1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The S1469 is a quality, high performance mainboard based on the powerful Intel Pentium microprocessors. This mainboard is designed around the
latest and fastest Intel 430VX chipset and can support CPU
speeds of 75MHz through 200MHz. S1469 will also support the Cyrix
M1/6x86 CPU's and the Intel multimedia Pentium P55C.
The S1469's PCI Local Bus provides high performance capabilities that
are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as: CAD,
CAM, CAE, networking, multi-user environments, database management,
desktop publishing, image processing and 3D animation.
This integrated system board achieves the highest reliability and yet is
small enough for all of its features to be supported in a "Baby-AT" formfactor. Some of the features included are: on-board dual channel PCI
IDE, on-board floppy controller, on-board high speed I/O, and support for
pipeline-burst SRAM.
Flexibility and expandibility have been designed into the S1469. With I/O
and drive controller support built on-board, the four PCI and four ISA
(One ISA and one PCI as a shared slot) slots are free for any add-on
expansion cards.
Remember to take a look at Tyan Computers web site located at
http://www.tyan.com. Here you can find information on all of Tyan's
products along with FAQ's, distributors list, drivers and CMOS setting
explanations.
Notice
This board uses the Intel 430VX chipset. According to Intel , the USB
function in this chipset is not guaranteed because compatibility tests
cannot be conducted for USB at this time due to no availability of
such devices.

2. Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The mainboard package should contain the following:
wS1469 Mainboard
wOne IDE 40 pin cables
wTwo serial cables
wwOne parallel cable
wOne 34 pin floppy cable
wUser's Manual
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.
Touch an unpainted area of the system chassis befor handling the mainboard
or any component. Doing so discharges the static charge your body may
have built.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it
only on a grounded anti-static surface, component side up. Inspect the board
for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure that they are
properly seated. Do this only with the board placed on an anti-static mat.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED!
2.2 Installation
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the S1469 matches the "Baby AT" system board spec. It is assumed that the
chassis is designed for a standard IBM XT/AT.

3.3 CMOS RTC
CMOS RTC includes an internal battery and Real Time Clock circuit. It
provides the date and the time for the system. Normally the life span of a
RTC internal battery is 10 years. When replacing, you should use the same
model.
3.4 Speaker Connector Installation
S1469 provides a 4-Pin header (J41) to connect the speaker. The polarity
can go either way.
3.5 Turbo Switch
The front panel on your case may have a turbo switch to control system
speed when slower program execution is required for software developed
in the old XT days.
You can connect the chassis turbo switch to J42 on the mainboard. The
430VX chipset doesn't support a hardware turbo function so this switch will
only turn on or off the turbo LED.
3.6 Turbo LED Connector Installation
The TURBO LED on the front case panel can indicate the current speed
status of the system. The TURBO LED connector should be installed to
J50 in the correct direction.
12S1469-001-01 http://www.tyan.com
3.7 Hardware Reset Switch Connector Installation
The RESET switch on your cases' display panel provides users with the
HARDWARE RESET functinon which is the same as power on/off. The
system will do a cold start after the RESET switch is pushed by the user.
The RESET switch is a 2 pin connector and should be installed on jumper
J49.
3.8 Flash EPROM-Jumper J54
The S1469 uses flash memory to store BIOS programs. It can be updated
as new versions of the BIOS becomes available. The flash utility will guide
you through the process step by step.
J54 determines which type of EPROM is used. This jumpers has been set
to match the on board BIOS chip. The factory default for the S1469 is on
pins 1-2. Depending on the type of EPROM used, some boards will have
J54 on pins 2-3.
Refer to chapter 5 for Flash EPROM upgrade procedures.
3.9 Hardware CMOS & Password Reset
(The following steps are valid provided the board has a DS12887A RTC)
If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your password or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below.
a. Power off the system
b. Short jumper J43.
d. Wait for 5 seconds then remove the jumper from J43.
e.Then power on the system again.
By doing the above procedures, your password will be erased and the CMOS
will be reset to the BIOS default.
