Page 4: Introduction
Overview The S1834 Tiger 133 is a quality, high performance motherboard designed for dual Intel PII / PIII microprocessors. The Tiger 133 utilizes the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset (VT82C694X) with Award BIOS. The S1834 can support CPU speeds of 450MHz through 800+MHz, and host bus speeds of 100 MHz to 133 MHz (the VIA chipset’s bus speed is Auto-Determined by the CPU). -

Board Installation 1-F. Soft Power Connector The Soft Power Connector is part of jumper block J10. The Tiger 133 uses the chipset for power management, including turning on and off the system. If the Power Button Function option in the BIOS Power Management Menu is set to On/Off (which is the default), pressing the power button once after the BIOS has booted up will turn the system on and off. -
Page 17: Flash Eeprom
Flash EEPROM The Tiger 133 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 59). 2. Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installa- tion guidelines. - Page 18 DIMM (see Figure 2-6 on the next page).

8. Connecting the Power Supply Tyan recommends using an ATX power supply that conforms to industry standard revision 2.01. The Tiger 133 motherboard comes equipped with one onboard power connector. Figure 2-16 below shows an ATX power connector. When plugging in the power connector, make sure that the plastic clip on the power connector is aligned with the plastic tab on the onboard connector (see Figure 2-17 below). -

You can upgrade the BIOS on your motherboard by using the Flash Memory Writer (FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from TYAN’s BBS and from the TYAN website.
