Only BIOS A(ctive) runs always. Only in "emergency" cases the BIOS B(ackup) will be copied into A.
This whole "security" concept is quite unsatisfying IMO, as -beside praying- you can't take active action and must rely on the "automatic" process.
Also unclear is if when you upgrade your BIOS, if both A and B get upgraded or not. Really a shame how this hole issue is left so undocumented.

The option in BIOS saying "Secure Backup BIOS" will copy the current running BIOS A into B, I've tried it.

Oh, I see. The I really don't have a chance to know which one is in use?
I'm a little scared about the option in BIOS saying "Secure Backup BIOS". the help-text describe it like this: Use to duplicate a working copy of the BIOS files to the active BIOS
But I don't know if it is currently running on "normal" BIOS_A or "backup" BIOS_B?]]> Mon, 16 Sep 2019 04:40:23 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12439&PID=67904&title=phantom-gaming-x-where-are-bios-a-led#67904 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12439&PID=67883&title=phantom-gaming-x-where-are-bios-a-led#67883 Author: CHnuschti

Very likely the LEDs don't exist. Same as on my Taichi Ultimate Z390. http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11736
Must be the result of the continous sloppy copy&paste of manuals from the older to the newer mobos.]]> Sun, 15 Sep 2019 15:01:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12439&PID=67883&title=phantom-gaming-x-where-are-bios-a-led#67883 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12439&PID=67881&title=phantom-gaming-x-where-are-bios-a-led#67881 Author: Burgurne

Greetings.
My first post inhere.
In the manual I read that I can see which BIOS is the currently active by BIOS_A_LED or BIOS_B_LED. But I can't find these leds on the mobo at all?
I have downloaded the full manual for this mobo as .pdf to try and make a search for BIOS_A_LED, but only the text where it says that I can see which BIOS is active shows up. Can't find it in any graph or text.

Are the LEDs for the 2 BIOS anywhere on the mobo? ]]> Sun, 15 Sep 2019 06:33:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12439&PID=67881&title=phantom-gaming-x-where-are-bios-a-led#67881
