Your computer's BIOS ID code can help you determine 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 BIOS Version (first item on this menu)
Press F10 to exit BIOS Setup
Example BIOS Version:
SGP4510H.86A.0121.2009.0828.0117
The first TWO sections of the BIOS Version indicate the BIOS ID code (in the example: SGP4510H.86A). This ID code must EXACTLY match one of the BIOS ID codes listed below. If they match, then you have an Intel retail desktop board and Intel will provide support.
If the first two sections do not match, then your desktop board was manufactured for a specific 3rd party manufacturer. Please contact that manufacturer for help with your board.
