1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The S1470 is a quality, high performance mainboard designed forl Intel
Pentium microprocessors. This mainboard utilizes the Intel 430VX chipset
and can support CPU speeds of 75MHz through 200MHz. S1470 will
also support the CyrixM1/6x86 CPU's and the Intel multimedia Pentium
P55C which utilizes MMX commands.
The S1470'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 high reliability with numerous
features and yet is small enough to be supported in a "Baby-AT" formfactor. Some of the features included are: on-board dual channel PCI
PIO and DMA 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 S1470. With I/O
and drive controller support built on-board, the five PCI and four ISA
(One ISA and one PCI as a shared slot) slots are free for numerous addon expansion cards.

2. Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The mainboard package should contain the following:
wS1470 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.
With the power supply pluged in and turned off touch an unpainted area of
the system chassis imedietly before 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 holding it by
its edges ,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 touch the bottom of the board.
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 S1470 matches the "Baby AT" system board spec. It is assumed that
the chassis is for a standard IBM XT/AT form factor.

If you at anytime need to reset the CMOS because you have forgotten
your password do the following.
If your system has the Dallas DS12887A chip, just power down the
machine and close jumper J43 for five seconds. Then open the jumper
and power on the machine. Your CMOS will be cleared.
If your system has the Dallas DS12B887 chip, your system must be
powered on when you close jumper J43. It only needs to be closed
for a couple of seconds. Then remove the jumper and your CMOS
will be cleared.

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
S1470 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.
12S1470-001-01 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 S1470 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 S1470 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. (Put jumper on it)
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.
