Dual BIOS Introduction 2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM 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. DualBIOSTM technology examines the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly. 3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard. The benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs. 4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOSTM utility, the option can be set, "Halt On When BIOS Defects," to be enable to halt your system with a warning message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers require constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation, the "Halt On When BIOS Defects" message may be disable to avoid system pauses during normal booting. Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte's DualBIOSTM technology is the ability to upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4 Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need. 36
