1. Save Current BIOS to File
This option allows you to copy the contents of the Flash memory chip into a file in
the \FLASH directory. This gives you a backup copy of the original motherboard
BIOS in case you need to re-install it. In such cases where the data on the chip get
lost or corrupted, you can reprogram the chip using this backup copy. We strongly
recommend that you perform this procedure.
