Chapter 4: Diagnostics

Note: if you experience problems with setting up your system, always check the following
things in the following order:

CPU, Memory, Video

By checking these items, you will most likely find out what the problem might have been
when setting up your system. For more information on troubleshooting, check the Tyan
website at:

http://www.tyan.com

.

4.1 Beep Codes

Fatal errors which halt the boot process are communicated through a series of audible
beeps.

(1) Memory module initialization failed

(a)  memory modules might not be plugged in correct configuration
(b)  wrong type of memory
(c)  bad memory modules

(2) Graphics initialization failed

Before contacting your vendor or Tyan Technical Support, be sure that you note as much
as you can about the beep code length and order that you experience. Also, be ready with
information regarding add-in cards, drives and O/S to speed the support process and
come to a quicker solution.

4.2 Flash Utility

Every BIOS file is unique for the motherboard it was designed for. For Flash Utilities, BIOS
downloads, and information on how to properly use the Flash Utility with your motherboard,
please check the Tyan web site:

http://www.tyan.com

NOTE

Please be aware that by flashing your BIOS, you agree that in the event of a BIOS
flash failure, you must contact your dealer for a replacement BIOS. There are no
exceptions. Tyan does not have a policy for replacing BIOS chips directly with end
users. In no event will Tyan be held responsible for damages done by the end user.
