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 Tyan web site for FAQ, bulletins, driver updates, etc.
http://www.tyan.com
3.Contact your dealer or distributor for help BEFORE calling Tyan.
4.Check the Tyan 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.

Chapter 2
Board Installation
Here are some precautions you should follow when installing your motherboard:
(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)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 place it on a grounded antistatic surface, component side up. Inspect the board for damage.
!DONOTAPPLYPOWERTOTHEBOARDIFITHASBEENDAMAGED!
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 theFigure 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. Setting Jumpers
! 1-A. CPU Speed Settings (Auto-Detected)
The CPU speed settings are Auto-Detected by the CPU. The CPU voltage may important! be changed by using jumpers JP25-JP28. After the system is ready to boot, the
BUS Speed is auto-detected although you may set the BUS speed manually using jumpers JP19 and JP20 . Presently all Athlon CPUs use a 200MHz bus speed. (200 Mhz is at 100 Mhz DDR Double Data Rate).
Tyan does not recommend operating CPUs, memory, or PCI Bus at higher than rated speed. Tyan takes no responsibility for any problems related to overclocking any bus or component on the system board.

1-H 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. (J1 pin 5 & 7)
1-I Onboard Sound audio Connectors (Video-In and CD-IN)
There are two 4-pin connectors onboard which are used for various peripherals’ audio signals. The digital signal that comes in through these connectors is directed through the VIA KX-133 onboard sound function, and the digital signal is turned into an audio signal which goes out through the speaker. This consists of the VIDEO-IN connector for DVD drives and the CD-IN connector is for CD-ROMs.
1-M. USB Header (Jumper
J2)
The Southbridge of the KX-133 chipset is capable of handling 4 USB ports. Only 2 connectors are provided on the motherboard. If you need to use all four ports, a USB header (J2) is provided should you decide to set up a USB connector externally.

JP22/ JP24 |
Jumper JP22 is a three pin power LED header that can be used if you have a 3 pin Power LED. Otherwise refer to panel connector J16 for 2 pin LEDs. 3 pin LED’s can still be used on J1 where pin 13 would be for the Ground pin.
Suspend to RAM ACPI Enable/Disable (Jumper JP18)
This jumper controls the ACPI advanced power management function . Set the jumper JP18 to 1-2 to enable ACPI or set the jumper to 2-3 to turn the ACPI function off. Default is OFF (2-3). ACPI must also be enabled in the BIOS in order for this function to be activated. If ACPI is not enabled, the Sleep Button (Jumper J24) will not function.

External SMI (Jumper JP1)
The External SMI Signal Management Interupt header is reserved for use with external hardware devices.
Sleep Button (Jumper JP24)
JP24 is used to connect to the sleep button. Depressing the sleep button will send the computer into an S1 standby mode. During this mode the monitor and harddisks are switched off. Hitting the keyboard or sleep button again will wake up the computer.
CMOS RTC
The Real Time Clock (RTC) circuit, which provides the date and time for the system is integrated into the Via KX-133 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 Trinity K7 uses flash memory to store BIOS firmware. It can be updated as new versions of the BIOS become available. You can upgrade your BIOS easily using the flash utility (see page 61).

2. Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installation guidelines. TYAN recommends that you 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
important! 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 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 TYAN 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, QesTec Incorporated, Unigen, Micron Technology, and Crucial Technology. These DIMMs have proven to be very stable on our boards and perform extremely well.
warning
This motherboard operates on a 3.3 volt standby for the DIMM banks .
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.

*Note: The image above is used to illustrate a concept and may not represent the actual image of your motherboard.
To 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.
To 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). To 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 Trinity K7 uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can accommodate up to 1 GB of SDRAM. The 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) must be of the 3.3V, unbuffered 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 below). All installed memory will be automatically detected, so there is no need to set any jumpers.

Installing the SlotA CPU and Cooling Fan
Using a cooling mechanism for Athlon K7 processors is extremely important. The active cooler shown in Figure 2-8 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 Trinity K7 board.
Figure 2-8
Figure 2-9 below shows an overhead view of the retention braces positioned at both ends of the CPU slot. Be sure to tighten the retention brace screws to secure them onto the motherboard.
