In Case of Problems

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 the outcome. The Chipset defaults were carefully chosen by TYAN or your system manufacturer for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.
Setup Variations
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 appearance of your Setup screen may differ from the charts shown in this section. Each system design and chipset combination 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 remove them from the BIOS setup program.
NOTE: On the following pages, options written in bold type represent the BIOS Setup default.
