How to represent a 3-tier architecture in UML?

I have an windows application developed, and I need to document its architecture. I made a 3-tier diagram according to Microsoft Practices and Patterns, but my chief wants a representation made from UML's perspective.

How do you represent a 3-tier diagram on UML?

PS: The three tiers are basically, a presentation layer, business layer and data access layer. Just in case.

You can use stereotypes to note the classes in each one of the tiers. Check out this example (towards the middle of the article)

You should use UML package diagrams. For a similar example please see this link. Specifically the "Multi-Layered Web Architecture" part.
