Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an external type of basic input/output system backup device and in particular to a basic input and output system device having a repair and backup function . [Prior Art] A Basic Input Output System (BIOS) is a firmware stored in a Main Board Read 〇nly Memc (ry, ROM). Its main function is to check whether the computer hardware and peripheral devices are normal when booting, and initialize each hardware to ensure the normal operation of the system. When we turn on the computer system, the central processing unit (CPU) inside the computer will be loaded into the operating system by the basic input and output system to obtain the program for boot self-test (p〇wer 〇n Sdf Tat OST). And the computer system's control external operating system 'completes the boot action. ''Ό Before the motherboard is shipped from the motherboard, the motherboard will first input the motherboard into the system data and write it in the read-only memory. (4) User, factor 'for example, update the old version of BI0S data to the current version of the nickname % update action Failure, suffering from Wei virus, or other reasons, resulting in damage to the basic wheel material content. In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems, the single basic input and output system cannot be turned on (4), and the development of "base reading (10)c Inpm 〇utput System, (4) § §) technology. Using this technology 2) c / e 200802386 computer system t Including the memory of the main motherboard on the original motherboard and the storage of another external storage backup system (4) (10) aIBackup job. When the main base = output into the secret due to computer virus attack or update bio = this: out When guiding, the main basic input on the gamma board is the basic wheel input and exit data of the system. However, the main wheel access system of the set-up is the cost of the purchase of the main board without the use of the motherboard, ==== In addition, the addition of the spare basic wheel to enter the system ^ Feishan ° In addition, the traditional department, maintenance needs to repair the parts, embedded in the motherboard failure risk. 困难 plus maintenance difficulties and maintenance lost [Abstract 】 The purpose of this = Ming is to provide - the kind of skirts 'by embedding in the main = this round of entry and exit: set, when there is a need to use ===== into the system to change the purchase cost of the outer board and simplify Purpose of maintenance.

Therefore, the above-described and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention can be made more apparent by reducing the system 2 of the customer's motherboard and the maintenance of the conventional dual basic output. The preferred embodiment is exemplified below. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [Embodiment] oc/e 200802386 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an external priming system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the external basic input/output system device of the embodiment carries a standby basic input/output system (Ba BIOSi, which is based on the original basic rotation of the power system (10). The present invention includes an external memory module 110 for storing a set of standby basic input and output systems, and includes a motherboard board interface 130, which is embedded in the interface. The computer system _ 板 板 ii ii provides a plurality of pins for reading the external memory module 110. In addition, the group connection module 120 is further configured to connect the external memory module 110 to the motherboard The pin interface 130. Please continue to refer to FIG. 1 'In the external memory module 11A, the memory 112 and the connection connector 114 are further included. The memory 112 uses a flash memory engine h ROM' to store the above-mentioned spare Basic output into the system. There is a need for the right side. Other types of memory can also be used. The connection connector 114 is used to connect the memory 112 and the connection module 120. _ Among them, the above-mentioned connecting connector U4 is a parallel 埠 (PamHel port) standard J 25 connected to two D vertical connectors, and the corresponding signal of each pin of the connecting connector 114 is according to the signal corresponding to the pin of the memory 1 丨 2 Defined, and the hardware architecture used by the connection connector 114 is a compact pin busbar ^ c〇unt = s, earth PC Bus). The streamlined pin bus is used by the motherboard manufacturer, and the motherboard has the thin connector. The motherboard is not required to add extra parts. Structure. From another point of view, the working frequency of the streamlined busbar is relatively flat. 2008023 86ioc/e The structure of the main basic wheel is also faster and faster. The connection module 120 includes an external adapter 122 for connecting to the external memory module 110. In more detail, the external adapter m is a parallel 埠 standard 25-pin D-type connector, and the structure is a reduced pin bus bar, which can be connected to the connection connector 114 of the external memory module 110. In addition, the group 120 further includes a connection wrapper, and the connection mirror 124a I=includes a solid baffle to fix the external adapter 122 to the casing. Connection _ 124a _ end and motherboard pin interface with fixed reading of the other end and external transfer · f connection. 4 connected to the memory module 11G through the connection module 12 =:,, the computer system can be read by the motherboard (four), connected to the #妾4 physical rights group no, sub-read the basic input into the system. ^ Say the Japanese forest is outside the wire and the current round of the person (10) installed == 'Figure 2 is the flow chart of the use of this embodiment.

In general, the present invention will use the external basic memory module and use an external connection to the external motherboard. When the main basic output person I,, and the connection uses the basic wheel to enter and exit the system to start the operation, and == to enter the system', therefore, the normal output memory module can be maintained by the consumer (4) Reduce the connection of the motherboard. The phase of the dual-input system is the main and standby basic input and output system each time the system is turned on. When the main basic output system memory module of the present invention is used, the computer is turned on, and when there is an external standby basic: the Zfe body group, the computer will check the standby basic transmission system. Therefore, when the invention is used, the computer system can enjoy the advantage that the single boot speed is fast, and the dual basic output repair function can be enjoyed in an emergency. In addition, the standby basic wheel entry and exit system of the present invention is an external device, and can also avoid the problem of failure of the south wheel of the basic wheel of the splicing system when the conventional technology is repaired. Although the present invention has been described above by way of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified and retouched without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
