Note:
If you experience problems with setting up your system, always check the following things in the
following order:
MEMORY, VIDEO, CPU
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

4.1 Beep Codes
Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through a series or audible beeps. For exam-
ple, if the AMI BIOS POST can initialize the video but an error occurs, an error message will be displayed.
If it cannot display video, it will convey a series of beeps.
If you hear one long beep followed by two short beeps, then a video problem has probably occured and
the BIOS is having difficulty initializing the video display. Any other beep sequences that may or may not
occur are probably due to memory problems.
4.2 Displayed Error Messages
If an error occurs after the system display has been initialized, an error message will be displayed as fol-
lows:
ERROR Message Line 1
ERROR Message Line 2
Press <F1> to continue

Setup menu, the system may or may not display the error message.
