Some AGP cards require Windows 95 OSR2. 1 or a special driver from Intel. Please check with your graphics vendor for more details. S2257 Thunder 2400 49 Chapter 2 Board Installation Q: How do I install the onboard NIC drivers for WinNT 4. 0?A: The Ethernet driver can not be installed directly from the Tyan Driver CD. Before installing the Intel 82559 Ethernet drivers, the complete 82559 directory and ALL its components must first be copied from the Tyan CD onto your hard drive. The 82559 installation program can then be copied normally from your hard drive. Q: How can I disable the keyboard detection in the BIOS?A: You need to enable the Quick Boot option in CMOS - then the BIOS will not check for a keyboard. Q: I cannot install Windows NT when I use an LS/120-type floppy disk drive. A: SYMPTOM - When you are trying to install Windows NT, you may experience any of the following symptoms: 1) When you boot from the installation disks, the following error message may be displayed when disk 2 is inserted: Stop 0x0000007B Inaccessible Boot Device (0xFF109C50, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) 2) When you are attempting to create a set of installation disks using the WINNT /ox or WINNT32 /ox command, the following error message may be displayed: This floppy disk is not formatted as high-density, not formatted with a standard Windows NT or MS-DOS format, or is corrupted. CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: You are using a LS/120-type floppy disk drive. RESOLUTION - To work around this issue, install Windows NT Worksta tion with the /b switch. This causes Windows NT Workstation Setup to run without requiring the installation disks. If you are using the S2257 or are installing with LSI Symbios 53C896 with 53C896 chip then you must install NT 4. 0 with a standard 1. 44MB floppy disk. Q: Where can I get Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter drivers?A: You will find the drivers located in the Tyan Drivers CD under the http://www. tyan. com ONBOARD 50 subdirectory LAN82559. Please note: You must use the drivers provided in the Tyan CD only. These drivers have been tested and approved by Tyan engineering. Q: Why does my Intel Ethernet work only intermittently?A: The Inter Ethernet only operates under standby current; therefore, your power supply must be ATX 2. 01 Compliant with a minimum SB5V current of 750mA. Q: Why does my keyboard LED remain on after the system is turned off?A: This situation is most likely caused by the enabling of Keyboard Wake-Up Function (under the Peripheral Setup) in the BIOS. [. . . ] In Sleep/Suspend mode, all devices except the CPU shut down. S2257 Thunder 2400 103 Glossary Appendix 3 SRAM Static RAM, unlike DRAM, does not need to be refreshed in order to prevent data loss. In Standby mode, the video and fixed disk drive shut down; all other devices operate normally. UltraDMA/33 is a fast version of the old DMA channel. Without UltraDMA your system cannot take advantage of the higher data transmission rates of the new UltraATA hard drives. [. . . ]
