BIOS-ProtectEasy
The BIOS of the mainboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe viruses
such as CIH virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the
mainboard. 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.
There are two choices which implements this function.
1. Set the jumper (JP2) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (JP2) as opened, meanwhile set Flash Write Protect as
Enabled in CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but the
DMI information can be updated.
3. JP2 Default is opened.
