TM 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 B IOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS
TM technology examines
the checksum of the main and backup BIOS w hile the system is powered on to guarantee
your BIOS operates properly.
3. Power Users will have the advantage of hav ing 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 DualBIOS
TM utility,
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 BIOS has been corrupted. Most w orkstation/servers
require constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation,
the “Halt On When BIOS 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 BIOS to dual 4
Mbit B IOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.
