Technology FAQ
GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your
system BIOS. This newness “Value-added” feature, in a long of innovations from GIGABYTE,
is available on GA-7ZXR motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate
this innovation.
What’s DualBIOS TM ?
On GIGABYTE motherboards with 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.
