1. Introduction 1.1 Overview The S1471 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.

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.
3.7 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 J41.
3.9DRAM Installation The S1471 uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can accommodate up to 128 MB of RAM. The mainboard supports Fast Page Mode, and EDO (Extended Data Out) 72 pin SIMMs. SDRAM(Synchronous) are also supported in the DIMM slots. DIMM's must be of the unbuffered variety.
3.10 CPU Installation Several types of CPUs (75 thru 200MHz) can be used on S1471. Please refer to section 3.2 for the correct CPU jumper settings for your board. w The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can be easily damaged by static electricity.
3.11 Upgrading Cache Memory The S1471 has either 256Kb or 512kb of on-board pipelined burst SRAM. Since the SRAM is surfaced mounted onto the board, the L2 Cache cannot be field upgraded. 3.12 Peripheral Device Installation After all the jumpers on the mainboard have been set, then it can be mounted into the case.
3.13 Connecting the Power Supply The system power supply connectors on the mainboard is for a 5 volt power supply. Incorrect installation of the power supply could result in serious damage to the system board and connected peripherals. To connect the leads from either voltage power supply, you should first make sure the power supply is unplugged.

Align the plastic guide pins on the lead cables to their receptacles on the mainboard. You may need to hold the lead at an angle to line it up.Once you have the guide pins aligned, press the lead connector so that the plastic clips on the lead snap into place and secure the lead to the connec- tor.
4. BIOS Configuration Award's BIOS has a built in setup program that allows the user to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in the battery-backed CMOS SRAM. Entering incorrect information or forget- ting your password can lock you out of your system.(refer to 3.9 for resetting of CMOS) 4.1.

5.0 Flash Writer Utility Warning: Do not flash the BIOS unless instructed by your dealer. You can upgrade the BIOS of your mainboard by using a "Flash Memory Writer"(FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from Tyan's BBS(Consult your system vendor for the phone #) or web site. The system BIOS is stored on a 'flash' EPROM ROM chip on the mainboard which can be erased and reprogrammed by the FMW.
Page 39
To reprogram the System BIOS, you must first do the following: 1. Check jumper J50.(Default pins 1-2) The S1471 uses a 5V Flash EPROM so jumper J50 should be left in the default postion on pins 1 and 2. This jumper should never be moved.
Once you have satisfied the two requirements mentioned above, you can run FMW. You can copy the contents of the “Flash” directory to your hard drive, or you can run the utility from a backup of the support floppy disk. Make sure the new BIOS file is in the same directory as the FMW utility.
