The Release Revision first digit is incremented for each initial revision of a BIOS Release. The second digit will increment only if a revision itself needs to be revised with a change or fix. The Release Number will not change when a BIOS is built as a Release Revision and will reset to ―00‖ with each new Release Number. -―00‖ is the starting Release Revision for all platform BIOS Releases. Release Revisions are not Standard Operating Procedure, but may be produced if authorized BIOS management. The sequence will be as in the following examples for Release Revision and Release Number:  Release 2 (i.e., 2.0) = RelRev/RelNum ―.00.0002‖  Release 2 Revision 1(i.e., 2.1) = RelRev/RelNum ―.10.0002‖  Release 2 Revision 1 fix 1 (i.e., 2.11) = RelRev/RelNum ―.11.0002‖  Release 3 (i.e., 3.0) = reverts to RelRev/RelNum ―.00.0003‖ Revision 1.0 47 Intel order number G13326-003

BIOS ID String
The BIOS Identification string is used to uniquely identify the revision of the BIOS being used
on the server. The BIOS ID string is displayed on the Power On Self Test (POST) diagnostic
screen and in Setup and System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) structures.
The BIOS ID string is formatted as follows:
6.1.1.2
BoardFamilyID.OEMID.MajorVer.RelRev.RelNum.BuildDateTime
Where:
BoardFamilyID
= String name for to identify board family.
-
―S1200BT‖
is used to identify BIOS builds for S1200BT server boards.
OEMID
= Three-
character OEM BIOS Identifier, to identify the board BIOS ―owner‖.
Changed only if and when BIOS Development management authorizes a BIOS program
for a specific OEM customer.
-
―86B‖
is used for BIOS Releases.
MajorVer
= Major Version, two decimal digits 01-99 which are changed only to identify
major hardware or functionality changes that affect BIOS compatibility between boards.
-
―01‖
is the starting BIOS Major Version for all platforms. This designation can change
only at the discretion of BIOS Development management.
RelRev
= Release Revision, two decimal digits 00-99 which are changed to identify
specific "point releases" or branches based on a given BIOS Release but with targeted
minor fixes or special-purpose differences in functionality from the primary BIOS
Release. The Release Revision first digit is incremented for each initial revision of a
BIOS Release. The second digit will increment only if a revision itself needs to be
revised with a change or fix. The Release Number will not change when a BIOS is built
as a Release Revision and will reset to ―00‖ with each new Release Number.
-
―00‖
is the starting Release Revision for all platform BIOS Releases. Release Revisions
are not Standard Operating Procedure, but may be produced if authorized BIOS
management.
The sequence will be as in the following examples for Release Revision and Release Number:
Release 2 (i.e., 2.0) = RelRe
v/RelNum ―.00.0002‖
Release 2 Revision 1(i.e., 2.1) = RelRev/RelNum ―.10.0002‖
Release 2 Revision 1 fix 1 (i.e., 2.11) = RelRev/RelNum ―.11.0002‖
Release 3 (i.e., 3.0) = reverts to RelRev/RelNum ―.00.0003‖
