In Case of Problems
If you discover that you have trouble starting the computer after making and saving changes with
the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by either:
Ø
Holding the Power button down until the machine turns off.
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not
change settings in the Chipset section unless you're absolutely sure you need to. The Chipset
defaults were carefully chosen by Tyan and or your system manufacturer for the best performance
and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to anyone of the Chipset options without
consideration, can cause your system to become unstable immediately or progressively.
Setup Variations
Not all systems have the same setup program. While the basic look and function of the setup
program remains more or less the same for all systems, the appearance of your Setup options
may or may not follow the same order listed in this manual. In addition, the final layout of all Setup
options depends on your system designer. They can decide that certain items that are listed in the
following pages remain hidden from user alteration.
