Note: if you experience problems with setting up your system, always check the following things in

the following order:

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:

Fatal errors, which halt the boot process are communicated through a series of audible beeps. For

example, if the BIOS POST can initialize the video but an error occurs, an error message will be

displayed. If it cannot display the message, it will report the error as a series of beeps.

If you hear one long beep followed by two short beeps, then a video problem has probably

occurred 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. If calling TYAN Tech Support,

be sure that you know how many beeps your board made, and how long the beeps were. Also

have other information such as your attached add-in cards, drives and OS to help speed up the

support process and come to a possible solution faster.
