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 install with your motherboard.
While we have alerted you to potential dangers in several places in
the 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 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.

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.

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.
!
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
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, dont 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 the Figure 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.

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-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.

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
competitors 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.
18
http://www.tyan.com
Figure 2-5*
*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.
INSTALL
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.
