I have a Intel Motherboard without Documentation. Serial Number on the board is AA 622998-207. It has an AMI bios (don't have that number now) and a 90Mhz processor in it. Can anyone give me the Name and/or model number of this board? Does anyone know where Intel keeps their serial#-to-model# list.

If you can help, please respond to this message or email me at "jli...@san.rr.com"

TIA, J.

Please boot the machine and report the BIOS version number that
appears. This should be relatively simple to figure out. Awaiting your
response.

I, too, have an intel m/b AA 622998-207;however, it won't boot.
No POST past the keyboard lighting up and staying lit. No beeps.
What's the minimum connections to test the board? I have a VGA card
and keyboard attached; plus two 4mb RAM simms.

Dear Paul:
This board lists as a Pemiere PCI II (Plato) board. If you get no beeps
then pull the memory boards, if you get beeps then memory is the issue.
If you still get no beeps then try a bios recovery on the board :
ftp://ftp.intel.com/pub/bios/ latest bios 1.00.16.AX1
http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/genbios.htm bios recovery
procedure
To set the board into the recovery mode yoy power down and move jumper
J6J2 tfrom 2-3 to 1-2.

If these options do not work then the board is bad or the processor is
bad.

Mark

Dear Edwin:
This could be a processor but it could also be a corrupted bios which
can be fixed with a bios recovery, which costs nothing to try. On this
board a Premiere/PCI II the recovery jumper is J6J2 moving pins 2-3 to
1-2. You can also pull the memory and see if you now get the beep
codes, that would indicate a bad memory module. The purpose is to be as
sure as possible before he buys another processor.

I Think i have an Advanced/AS Motherboard (according to my manual
on disk), but when I'm looking at the home page of the AS, there
is an update for board with BIOS id# 1.00.0x CL0.

When I start my system it tells that the BIOS has
1.00.04.CB0 as identification and I get errors like:

>> System Board Device Resource Conflict
>> Static Board device resource conflict


Questions:

1. Do I have an AS Board? If no, what board do I have?
2. Can I use the Bios Update 1.00.07.CL0?
3. If I install the update, will my problems be solved?

Jan Eijlers.

Hi,
I meant: I hope you have a processor in the board as well when you're
testing... Sorry if this wasn't clear. Forgot the ;-)

Hi,
You have the Advanced/EV also known as the Endeavour. You may want to
do an NVRAM clear. Switch 4 to ON, power on your system, wait for the
'NVRAM cleared by jumper' message, power off, set switch 4 back to OFF,
and power on. Check in Device Manager if there are any IRQ or address
conflicts (Instellingen, Configuratiescherm, Systeem, Apparaatbeheer in
Dutch).

Dear Jan:

The bios identifier CLO is for the Advanced/AS board. As long as there
is no extra character after CL0 you can use the 1.00.07.CL0 version off
our web site:http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/as/as_bios.htm

Your problem may be corrected, if you are using the PRO Audio sound
card then you need to read this

I have a motherboard that I think is Intel. The PBA number is 647633-204 and The AA number is 653781-204. I would like all the technical info I can get for this motherboard. Thanks. Mark

Please have a look around this newsgroup, and you will find a number of people, (including myself) who asked for their motherboard to be identified. My name is Jarrod House. Follow the steps I had to in terms of acquiring the correct information about the BIOS. Then, go to the BIOS's manufacturer's home page and find it there, if you can. If you cannot (I couldn't), maybe you will be lucky enough to have the great Edwin grace your presence with his vast knowledge. but first you need the necessary information about your BIOS. Get if off of your start-up screen (at the bottom).

Good luck and good hunting

Jarrod

Dear Mark:

The board you have is the Advanced/ZE. The Faxback number is
1-800-525-3019 and the following document numbers list for this board;
Doc# 4554
Doc# 4553
Doc# 4552
Doc# 4551

How do I identify my motherboard?
I beleive that this board is an Intel motherboard.
There are several part number labels, however after doing a search on
your site I still do not have any idea. I am looking for jumper settings
and perhaps a manual in a PDF format to print.

It is an ATX style motherboard. Here are a few of the numbers on the
board.
AA 65375-309
E139761
MO3713847
MBDPCI023ABWW

Your help is greatly appreciated.
The board has 256k cache expandable to 512 (I beleive) with 2 168pin SDRAM
slots. 4 PCI and 3 ISA

Thanks in advance to anyone who can spread some light on this subject.

:>How do I identify my motherboard?

Dear Craig:

This board does not list in our data base, it would appear to not be an
Intel motheboard. The other ways to identify the Intel motheboard is
from the version of the bios and a AA number on a sticker on the
motherboard itself.

Please note the AA number in my last message.

The label is on the motherboard at the back near the lpt and serial
connectors about 3 inches to the left.
Again the number is AA 653765-309.

Also what would I look for on the bios to tell me it is an Intel
motherboard?

All of the major chips are Intel of course and what I beleive to be
the bios chip is a SMC (American Mega Trends), although I am not sure.

Again thanks in advance.

Dear Craig:

The board lists as a TE430VX motherboard which is made by Intel but for
OEMs only. I believe your bios identifier is CY1T. What this means is
that all bios upgrades and support has to come form that OEM that
marketed the board. However, it is a board that Intel manufactured.
