Chapter 4: System Resources
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 http://www.tyan.com
4.1 Beep Codes
Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through a series or audible beeps. For exam-
ple, if the Phoenix BIOS POST can initialize the video but an error occurs, an error message will be dis-
played. 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 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, you must check the Tyan
website: 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 of replacing BIOS chips directly with end
users. In no event will Tyan be held responsible for damage done to the BIOS by the
end user.
