TYAN. com 49 http://www. TYAN. com 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. 10 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 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 come to a quicker solution. 4. 20 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. 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. 50 http://www. TYAN. com Appendix I: Glossary ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to the computer's devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications. The 32-bit AGP channel directly links the graphics controller to the main memory. While the channel runs only at 66 MHz, it supports data transmission during both the rising and falling ends of the clock cycle, yielding an effective speed of 133 MHz.
