That's the Dual BIOS button IIRC.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Leave it as it was when you got it. It is for those who are messing around with flashing different BIOSes onto the card, as a sort of backup. For normal use, ignore it.

No, that's not it... It's for legacy support.

 

And what is it do? Do i need it on? Please explain

You want it glowing blue, if it's not glowing blue. push it. You'll better start up times.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
