Technology FAQ

GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your

system BIOS. This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from
GIGABYTE, is available on this mainboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate
this innovation.

What’s DualBIOS

TM

?

On GIGABYTE motherboards w6ith DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For

simplicity we’ll call one your “Main BIOS” and the other we’ll call your “Backup” BIOS (your “hot
spare”). If your Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next
system boot. Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a
failure in flashing your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result
is the same - the Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automatically.
