Primary and Secondary for dual BIOS cards. What does it mean?

So, I kinda know how Dual BIOS works, but can't understand why they are called Primary and Secondary, without any other explanation. Some examples on the web shows BIOS called Performance, Quiet, etc. That were very clear names. I just would like to know the purpose of Primary and Secondary. There is no other documentation for the card, Sapphire 6800 Nitro+, not physical or digital.

Sapphire product page mentions dual bios (performance or quiet mode). In the booklet that came with my card 'Primary is Performance, Secondary is Silent' modes, and a paper with picture of switch options.

Ok, thanks. I have a piece of paper, but it shows how to connect GPU leds to motherboard, and only briefly shows things about Dual Bios. It basically only says the purpose of the physical switch, and only mentions Primary and Secondary, without explaining it.
