Appendix Appendix A. Anti-Crash Technology for BIOS Recovering The motherboard supports Anti-Crash Technology (ACT) for automatical system BIOS recovering. This section describes the recovery and update process. Caution: DO NOT disconnect the AC power supply during the Auto Recovery and BIOS update process. A.1 Auto Recovery The motherboard comes with two BIOS ROMs mounted onto the board as shown below.
Appendix • The LED blinks fast to indicate erasing data from the primary ROM. • The LED blinks slowly to indicate the MCU is writing system backup BIOS from the secondary ROM to the primary one. • The LED turns off to indicate the process is finished and the motherboard will automatically boot to your system.
