  • Page 51 DualBIOS Technology FAQ GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-6OXE Series motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.
  • Page 52 6OXE Series Motherboard I. Q: What is DualBIOS technology? Answer: DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS.
  • Page 53 III. Q: How does DualBIOS Answer: 1. DualBIOS technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment. 2. DualBIOS provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible.
  • Page 54 6OXE Series Motherboard 2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly.
