This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-6OXET Series motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.
  • Page 57 Introduce Dual BIOS 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 technology simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS.
  • Page 58 6OXET Series Motherboard III. Q: How does DualBIOS technology work? 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.
  • Page 59 Introduce Dual BIOS 2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS technology examines the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly.
