Background
BIOS is an abbreviation of English Basic Input Output System, belongs to Input and Output systems, and is a standard firmware interface in the industry on an IBM PC compatible System. The BIOS is the first software loaded at startup of the personal computer.
The BIOS is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the main board in the computer, the BIOS stores the most important basic input and output programs of the computer, a self-checking program after power-on and a system self-starting program, and the BIOS can read and write the specific information set by the system from the CMOS. Its primary function is to provide the lowest level, most direct hardware setup and control for the computer. The BIOS also provides some system parameters to the operating system. The BIOS is an indispensable part of the server, and the stability of the operation of the BIOS affects whether the server can operate normally. Usually, only one set of BIOS firmware is set in the server, so that if the BIOS firmware fails or has a problem, the server cannot be started up normally. With the continuous development and speed increase of the server, the BIOS firmware arranged in the server also needs to be continuously updated to meet the updating requirement of the server. Some servers are provided with two sets of BIOS firmware, so that the problem that the servers cannot be normally started and operated if the BIOS firmware fails or is in a problem can be avoided, but sometimes the servers cannot be normally started and operated if the BIOS firmware is not matched with the servers after being upgraded. In addition, after the server is upgraded, the BIOS firmware is not effectively upgraded, so that the server cannot be normally started and operated. How to ensure that the BIOS firmware version matches with the server is a technical problem to be solved.

enabling a user to detect the version information of the first BIOS firmware and obtain the version information of the second BIOS firmware.
4. The dual BIOS start-up and BIOS version comparison processing system of claim 1 wherein,
the version information processing client is also used for continuously receiving comparison results fed back by the first comparison client and the second comparison client respectively;
when the comparison result fed back by the first comparison client side is consistent, stopping the comparison of the first comparison client side, and outputting the version information of the BIOS firmware which is consistent in comparison, namely determining the version information of the first BIOS firmware stored in the first storage area;
and when the comparison result fed back by the second comparison client side is consistent, stopping the comparison of the second comparison client side, and outputting the version information of the BIOS firmware which is consistent in comparison, namely determining the version information of the second BIOS firmware stored in the second storage area.
5. The dual BIOS start-up and BIOS version comparison processing system of claim 1 wherein,
when the comparison results fed back by the first comparison client are inconsistent, outputting that the version information of the first BIOS firmware stored in the first storage area is inconsistent with the version information of the BIOS firmware configured by the version information processing client;
or when the comparison results fed back by the second comparison client are all inconsistent in comparison, the version information of the second BIOS firmware stored in the second storage area is output and is inconsistent with the version information of the BIOS firmware configured by the version information processing client.
