S2466 problem with 9600XT

[ernest]

Tyan S2466-4M with ATI AiW 9600XT...

All I hear after power up is one long beep and two short beep. BIOS is
latest v4.0 release 6.0. According to Tyan it means 'ROM
missing/checksum'. However, plugging this card into other computer
gives me BIOS beep that indicate 'missing vid-card'. Plus when I use
the s2466 to boot with this card plus another PCI vid-card, the PCI
boot successfully and going into 'computer hardware' (Windows2000) and
I do not see the 9600xt being detected by the OS at all.

Seems all fingers pointing at a toasted vid-card

Any other suggestions?

Yep, certainly looks that way. The M/B support 2x/4x AGP devices, so voltage
is definitely compatible.

BTW, the Tyan manual is remarkably comprehensive. It even warns of system
wakeup by plugging in a PCI card, due to the PCI 2.2 specification. The
experienced crew at HardOCP has been known to fry an un-cooled Athlon during
system assembly because of this, so it's definitely good advice.

Yeah I go back to FS and they actually willing to exchange even I
bought from FS online. The new card works so the old card prolly
dead...

Thanks!
