utility may be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BI OS.
2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS
detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the
TM
backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the
main and backup B IOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS
technology examines
TM
the checksum of the main and backup BIOS w hile the system is powered on to guarantee
your BI OS operates properly.
3. Power Users will have the advantage of hav ing two BIO S versions on their mainboard.
The benefit is being able to select either version BIO S to suit the performance system needs.
4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOS
utility,
TM
the option can be set, "H alt On When BIOS Defects," to be enabled to halt y our system with
awarning message that the main BI OS has been corrupted. Most w orkstation/servers
require constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation,
the "Halt On When BI OS Defects" message may be disabled to avoid system pauses
during normal booting. Another adv antage y ou gain from Giga-Byte' s DualB IOS
T M
technology is the ability to upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIO S to dual 4
Mbit B IOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.
