TYAN Transport Barebones FAQ
| Barebones Support Matrix | CPU support | Transport Server Platforms |
- Does my Tyan Transport System provide Universal AC Input?
All Tyan Transport Systems provide universal AC input by design.
- Can I use the BIOS for the motherboard that my Transport system uses?
You do not want to use the standard bios that is available for the distribution motherboards on your Transport System. There are specific bios versions that have been designed/released that are unique to
your Transport System. Use only those bios versions that have been released to get the proper performance from these systems.
- Why does my chassis sound so loud and offer no ability to throttle down the fan speeds?
If you have recently updated your bios you have updated to the regular distribution version of the bios. The regular distribution boards do not have fan control
options. You need to make sure you flash to the Transport version of the bios so that you have full fan speed control.
- Does my TX46 (B4882) support Fan Speed Control?
The TX46 (B4882) does not support any type of Fan Speed Control functions.
- What type of Rails are included with the TX46 (B4882)?
We use a rail system that is based on a 1U server design.
- What Slim-line FDD am I suppose to use for my TX46 (B4882)?
There is a specific product that is available that will correctly install and work in this enclosure. Please contact your Tyan Sales Rep. or your direct vendor/distributor directly to get this product.
- Why can't I boot to USB devices from my rear panel connector on the TX46 (B4882)?
The VIA chipset which controls these particular USB ports does not have the ability to boot to USB devices. This is a chipset related issue that does not have
a solution from VIA. However the front panel USB ports on the TX46 B4882 use a different chipset that does not have this type of issue. You can use the front
panel USB for any bootable USB device you would need to use.
- Why does my S4882 motherboard not support Dual Core CPU's when the TX46 (B4882) does?
AMD's engineers and FAE's have stated that third party motherboards might be able to support AMD's Dual Core CPU's as long as they have the right processor
power design (i.e. VRM) and BIOS. The bios support is not the concern for this particular issue. When this motherboard is ran outside of a controlled enclosure
(i.e. the Transport Chassis) we can't anticipate all the variations that would be presented for thermal concerns. The Transport Chassis does have a set of
variables that are completely controlled so we do not have to worry about other factors. We completely control all aspects of air flow and temperature and power
design so that there are no issues with Dual Core Support. Because regular motherboards don't have this level of control in design variations, this is why we
can't support the same solution for the regular distribution motherboard.
- Why does my S2882 motherboard not support Dual Core CPU's when the GX28/TA26 (B2882) does?
AMD's engineers and FAE's have stated that third party motherboards might be able to support AMD's Dual Core CPU's as long as they have the right processor
power design (i.e. VRM) and BIOS. The bios support is not the concern for this particular issue. When this motherboard is ran outside of a controlled enclosure

can't support the same solution for the regular distribution motherboard.
- Does my GX28 (B2881) support either a Slim-line or 3.5" FDD?
Due to thermal concerns a FDD is not supported in the chassis. You can use a USB FDD with this product without any issues.
- Does my GS12 (B5103) support either a Slim-line or 3.5" FDD?
This Transport system is designed in a sleek manner that does not incorporate a FDD. If you wish to use a FDD with this product you can use a USB FDD without
any issues.
- Where can I find the LCD software to be able to program my GS10/GS12?
The LCD software can be found in the package here. The following OS's are
supported: Win2k, Windows 2k SBS, Windows 2003, Windows 2003 SBS, WinXP, RedHat 9.0, SuSE 8.1, Turbo9, FreeBSD 4.7
- Does my GS10 (B2094) support either a Slim-line or 3.5" FDD?
This Transport system is designed in a sleek manner that does not incorporate a FDD. If you wish to use a FDD with this product you can use a USB FDD without any issues.
- How do you get into the bios from the Console on my GS10 (B2094)?
The key's that you need to hit to enter into the bios setting from the console is ESC + "-" keys.
- What does the "Power LED" on the front panel mean? (GS10/GS12 only)
If there is a Green LED, then this is the standard "Power ON" LED to show that the system is in normal operating mode. If there is a Red LED, then that means
the system has entered standby mode. If there is a Blinking Red LED then that means the system has failed to power on and the LCD screen will only show
"TYAN SERVER". If there is a Blinking Green & Orange LED (Green & Orange LED blinks in turn), then that means the system has powered on but fails to boot
to OS. In this case, the LCD screen will show "POWER ON"
