Whenever you contact technical support about BIOS issues, providing a BIOS version <LEUBR???> is
especially helpful.
The system BIOS provides additional information about the board's serial number, CPU, and memory
information by displaying information similar to the following:
S/N: YE5100002
CPU = Mobile Genuine Intel processor 1600MHz
503M System RAM Passed
1024K Cache SRAM Passed
System BIOS shadowed
Video BIOS shadowed
UMB upper limit segment address: E4EC
The board's serial number has value to technical support. coolMONSTER/PM serial numbers always start
with YE and are followed by six or seven digits. The first digit represents the year of manufacturing, the
next two digits stand for the lot number, and the last three or four digits are the number of the board in
that lot.
In the example above, the board with the serial number YE5100002 was manufactured in year 2005, lot
10 of that year, and is board number 2 of that lot.
