Chapter 4: Diagnostics

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:

4.1 - Beep Codes

Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through two kinds of audible
beeps.
• A single long beep followed by two short beeps: It indicates that a
video error has occurred and the BIOS can't initialize the video screen
to display and additional info.
• A single long beep repeatedly: This indicates that a DRAM error has
occurred.
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.

4.2 - 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 BIOS. There are no exceptions. 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.
