Tyan Computer GX21, B5102 manual In Case of Problems, Differences in Setup

In Case of Problems

If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by holding the power button down until the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS.

The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen either by TYAN or your system manufacturer for best perfor- mance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.

Differences in Setup

Not all systems will have the same BIOS setup layout or options. While the basic look and function of the BIOS setup remains more or less the same for most systems, the appear- ance of your Setup screen may differ from the charts shown in this document. Each system design and chipset combina- tion requires a custom configuration. In addition, the final appearance of the Setup program depends on the system designer. Your system designer may decide that certain items should not be available for user configuration, and may remove them from the BIOS setup program.

Note: On the following pages, options writ- ten in bold type represent the BIOS Setup default.
