MULTI BIOS SWITCH: Multi-BIOS Switch

This motherboard has two built-in BIOS ROMs (Labeled A and B, default BIOS ROM

is A). If one is crashed, you can shift to the other for booting by sliding the switch. In

addition, these two BIOS ROMs do not have the Auto Recovery feature, you need to

maintain or update the BIOS version by yourself.
