Failure when booting up BIOS is not uncommon and can occur most often during a power failure, a mishandled
BIOS update, a malware attack resulting in data corruption. When it happens, recovering procedures consume
considerable time and effort. Lanner understands this pain and have empowered our products with the Dual
BIOS feature.
Dual BIOS features two physical BIOS ROMs soldered onto the motherboard, carrying two separate BIOS
images. If the Primary BIOS (default) is not functioning correctly and fails to respond within seconds (~25
seconds to 2 minutes, depend upon appliance), the system will invoke a bootup from the Secondary BIOS,
automatically restarting the system and launch the operating system.
To provide increased flexibility and usage protection, Lanner has released the 2nd Gen Dual BIOS function on
Lanner appliances. With 2nd Gen Dual BIOS, both the primary BIOS and secondary BIOS can be updated and
flashed using the BIOS Tool to run different versions of BIOS ROMS independently for maximum compatibility.
This additionally allow users to switch BIOS ROMS for booting up, toggling between primary BIOS and
secondary BIOS.
