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 pairs (b) wrong type of memory (c) bad memory modules Graphics initialization failed (2) 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 c ome 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.

[. . . ] SDRAM (Static RAM): unlike DRAM, this type of RAM does not need to be refreshed in order to prevent data loss. Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. Without a proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. [. . . ]
