5.1 Beep Codes

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.
The most common type of error is a memory error.
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.

5.2 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:
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

replacing BIOS chips directly with end users. In no event will TYAN be
