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

have been when setting up your system. For more information on

4.1 Beep Codes
Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through two kinds
of audible beeps.
•A single long beep followed by two short beeps: It indicates that a
video error has occurred.
•A single long beep repeatedly: It indicates that a DRAM error has
occurred.
The most common type of error is a memory error.
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:

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.
