Identify your AMI BIOS based motherboard

AMI BIOS motherboards identification

Many users don't know the name of their clone motherboard. This is because the company name is not mentioned anywhere in the manual, or on the motherboard. If you want to upgrade your BIOS you really have to know the motherboard manufacturer, because if you flash the wrong BIOS upgrade your system could stop booting.

Luckily, AMI BIOS have a unique BIOS ID (= BIOS Number) which identifies the manufacturer and chipset of the board.

The AMI BIOS id appears at the bottom of your screen after power on, during memory count up. The PAUSE key should work at that point, allowing you to write down the BIOS number, the BIOS date, and the version. You must copy it exactly.

You can also try the AMIBIOS Motherboard ID Utility (written by AMI) to return your BIOS ID among other hardware information

If you have an Award BIOS please visit the Award BIOS number page.

Let's show you an example of an AMI BIOS id:

51-0102-1101-00111111-101094-AMIS123-P

To find your motherboard manfacturer, please look at the third (3) set of numbers in your BIOS string. In this case it's 1101 and by matching this with the AMI BIOS ID list below it indicates the manufacturer is SUNLOGIX INC.
