c. Dual BIOS Item explanation:
BIOS will auto detect:
Boot From : Main BIOS
Main ROM Type : SST 39SF020
Backup ROM Type : SST 39SF020
Wide Range Protection: Disable(Default), Enable
Status 1:
If any failure (ex. Update ESCD failure, checksum error or reset…) occurs in the Main
BIOS , just before the Operating System is loaded and after the power is on, and that the
Wide Range Protection is set to "Enable", the PC will boot from Backup BIOS
automatically.
Status 2:
If the ROM BIOS on peripherals cards(ex. SCSI Cards, LAN Cards,..) emits signals to
request restart of the system after the user make any alteration on it, the boot up BIOS will
not be changed to the Backup BIOS.
