Chapter 6 Special BIOS Functions
85
There are two choices which implement this function.
1. Set the jumper (FWH_EN) as Disabled (pin 1-2 closed), the BIOS cannot be
overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (FWH_EN) as Enabled (pin 2-3 closed), meanwhile set Flash
Write Protect as Enabled in CMOS Setup. In this case, the BIOS cannot be
overwritten, but the DMI information can be updated.
Note: FWH_EN default is enabled.
The BIOS of the motherboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe vi-
ruses such as CIH virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the
motherboard. If the BIOS has been damaged, the system will be unable to boot.
We provide the following solution which protects the system BIOS from being
attacked by such viruses.
