Your computer BIOS ID code can help you learn if you have a retail Intel® Desktop Board. To find the BIOS ID code:
- During boot, press F2 to enter BIOS Setup.
- On the Main menu, make note of the version of BIOS.
- Press F10 to exit BIOS Setup.
Example of the version of BIOS:
The first two sections of the BIOS version indicate the BIOS ID code (example: BIG4110H.86A). This ID code must EXACTLY match the BIOS ID Codes for standard Intel® desktop boards. If they match, then you have an Intel retail desktop board and Intel supports.
If the first two sections do not match, then your desktop board was manufactured for a specific third-party manufacturer. You should contact your board manufacturer for help with your board.
Some legacy Intel desktop boards use a BIOS ID code similar to this example: 1.00.12.CS1
