Introduction

Overview

The S1590S-100 (S1590) Trinity 100AT is a quality, high performance mainboard

designed for Socket 7 microprocessors. This mainboard utilizes the VIA MVP3

100MHz AGPset and host bus speeds of 66MHz to 100MHz. For CPU speed

support, please refer to the CPU Compatibility Chart in Tyan’s website

(http://www.tyan.com/support/html/socket_7_compatibility.html). The Trinity

100AT also has 100MHz Front Side Bus support, which allows you to take full

advantage of 100MHz SDRAM memory modules.

The S1590 mainboard, with built-in AGP slot, provides high performance

capabilities that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as

CAD, CAM, CAE, desktop publishing, 3D animation, and video production.

This system board achieves high reliability with numerous features and yet is

small enough to be supported in a Baby AT form factor. Some of the features

included are onboard dual channel PCI PIO, Bus Master IDE and UltraDMA/

33, onboard floppy controller, and onboard high speed I/O.

Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Trinity 100AT. With

I/O and drive controller support built onboard, the one AGP slot, four PCI and

four ISA slots (one shared, eight usable) are free for numerous add-on expan-

sion cards.

Icons

In order to help you navigate this manual and set up your system, we have

added several icons to our format.

This icon alerts you to particularly important details regarding the

setup or maintenance of your system. This icon often appears next

to information that may keep you from damaging your board or

system. While we will often point out the most vital paragraphs in a

chapter, you should always read every word in the text. Failing to do so can

lead to exasperation and expense.

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 fiddle 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.

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 to 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).

Help resources:

1. See FAQ and beep codes sections of this manual.

2. See Tyan web site for FAQ, bulletins, driver updates, etc.

Introduction

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

Unpacking

The mainboard package should contain the following:

(1) S1590 mainboard

(1) 40-pin IDE and 34-pin floppy cable pack

(1) S1590 User’s Manual

(1) Serial/parallel cable set

(1) PS/2 mouse cable

(1) Driver CD

Precautions

What’s the first thing I should do?

The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important

information which will make configuration and setup much easier.

Here are some precautions you should follow when installing your mother-

board:

important!

(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 mother-

board 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!

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.

*Power Supply Requirement: If you use an ATX Power Supply, it should be

2.01 compliant. Standby current must be 750mA or higher (SB5V = 0.75A)

Installation Steps

You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern of the

S1590 matches the Baby AT system board specifications. Your chassis should

have standard AT mainboard form factor mounting holes and either an AT or

ATX power supply.

What is a Jumper?

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. The square pin in the diagram is Pin 1.

Jumpers and pins are connected by slipping the blue 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 examples of pin connections.

The tables and maps on the following pages will help you set the jumpers for CPU

speed, Infrared, and external connector pin assignments, among others. The

miniature motherboard maps will help you locate the jumpers on your board. A

full-page map of the motherboard can be found on the next two pages.

1. Setting Jumpers

** Default Setting (2.2V)

The CPU speed is controlled by setting the bus speed and the multiplier with

the jumpers described above that are appropriate for your CPU and memory.

You must have a 100MHz processor AND PC/

100 memory to run at a bus speed of 100MHz.

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 componenet

on the system board.

JP11 is used to set CPU I/O voltage. Most newer P55C type CPUs such as AMD K6/

K6-2 have 3.3V I/O volt

age and a lower core voltage, so this jumper should be

OFF. For certain older P54C type CPUs the Core voltage is the same as the I/O

voltage so this jumper should be closed (on). Check the specs on your CPU

before you set this jumper.

Note: AGP Clock Speed is 66MHz.

CPU Clock Speed is set in

section 1-A on previous page.

**Note: JP7 and JP14 are provided on

some S1590 boards. If your board does

not have JP7 and JP14, please disregard

the above chart - the correct settings

are already built-in to the motherboard.

Hardware CMOS & Password Reset

If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your pass-

word or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below.

1. Power off the system

2. Set jumper JVBAT1 to pins 2 and 3

3. Wait for 2 seconds, then return

jumper JVBAT1 to pins 1 and 2.

4. Power on the system again.

By following this procedure, you will erase your

password and reset the CMOS to the BIOS defaults.

Soft Power Connector

The Soft Power Connector is located on pins

1 and 2 of jumper block J5. Pressing the Soft

Power Button will turn the sytem on and off.

Holding this button for more than four

seconds (when the system is on) will power

down the system. Pressing it again will reboot

the system.

Speaker Connector Installation

The Trinity 100AT provides a 4-pin header to

connect the speaker. The speaker is con-

nected to pins 24-27 of jumper block J5.

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. The Reset switch is a 2-pin connector

and should be installed on pins 22 and 23 of jumper block J5.

CMOS RTC

The VIA MVP3 AGPset includes a Real Time

Clock (RTC) circuit, which provides the date

and time for the system. 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 100AT uses flash memory to store BIOS programs. It can be easily

updated if necessary using the flash utility (see page 59). Tyan does not

recommend flashing the BIOS unnecessarily. Check the Tyan web site for the

latest BIOS revision.

2. Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis

Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installa-

tion guidelines. TYAN recommends that you use only one screw to hold down

the motherboard. The rest of the mounting holes should be used for the plastic

standoffs. 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 mother-

board and possibly break internal traces in 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. 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 brand-name 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

BIOS

Chapter 2

Board Installation

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 Corsair Microsystems,

Kingston Memory, and QesTec Incorporated. These DIMMs have proven to

be very stable on our boards and perform extremely well.

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 2-3

above 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 2-4 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 100AT uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can

accommodate up to 384MB of SDRAM. The 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line

Memory Modules) must be of the 3.3V, unbuffered variety. The position of the

Figure 2-3

S1590 Trinity 100AT

notch in the SDRAM key position will tell you whether or not a DIMM is

unbuffered (see the Figure 2-5 below). All installed memory will be automati-

cally detected, so there is no need to set any jumpers.

Figure 2-5

Some details of memory installation:

• At least one unbuffered DIMM must be installed for the system to POST.

• The mainboard supports 32MB, 64MB, 128MB SDRAM.

• PC-100 DIMM is required if CPU bus speed is at 100MHz

• EDO, SDRAM, Parity, and ECC (using Parity memory) memory is sup-

ported.

• SIMM modules must be installed in pairs, and both must be of the same

size and type.

• The mainboard supports 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, and 64MB SIMMs.

• You can install either single- or double-sided SIMMs.

• Two SIMMs or one unbuffered DIMM must be installed for the system to
