AMI
Motherboard Identification Utility
Identifying Your Motherboard
AMI
Motherboard Identification Utility is used to assist users in
determining the manufacturer of a motherboard using AMIBIOS.
1. Turn the system power off.
2. Unplug your keyboard
or hold down one of the keys on the keyboard
3. Power-on
the system (you should get a keyboard error)
4. Notice the
long string of numbers in the lower left hand corner of your screen.
This is your BIOS identification string. It will look like one of
these:
- 51-0102-zz5123-00111111-101094-AMIS123-P
- This indicates a motherboard with BIOS from 1991 to Present. The
BIOS identification number for this BIOS identification string,
which is in BOLD and in the third set of numbers, would be
zz5123.
- DINT-1123-04990-K8
- This indicates a motherboard with BIOS from 1986 - 1990.The BIOS
identification number for this BIOS identification string, which is
in BOLD and is in the second set of numbers, would be 1123.
If the first BOLD number of the second set of numbers
is:
1, 2, 8, or a letter - it is a NON-AMI Taiwanese
manufactured motherboard
3, 4, or 5 - it is a TRUE AMI
motherboard
50 or 6 - it is a NON-AMI US made
motherboard
9 - it is a Evaluation BIOS for a Taiwanese
manufacturer.
NOTE: If you have a identification number that
corresponds to a NON-AMI motherboard you will need to contact the
company or person who sold you the product.
