IMPORTANT! If you have a BIOS chip with part number SST 28SF040A (see Figure 3.1 below), DO
NOT flash with a BIOS that is below v1.04. Otherwise, you will render your system inoperable. In order
to find out if you have the SST 28SF040A, you will need to peel back the sticker (see Figure 3.0* below).
If you have a different chip other than the SST 28SF040A, this information does not affect you.
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
NOTE: 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.
