system.getmoboid Function
Syntax
system.getmoboid()
Parameters
none
Return Value
- string
The motherboard id string from the BIOS.
Remarks
The motherboard id is stored inside the BIOS. Some BIOSes do not have it, in this case the function will return an empty string.
Examples:
- 01/09/2003-i845G-W627-6A69VM4WC-00
- 10/12/2004-K8T800P-8237-6A7L1A1BC-17
- 09/08/2004-915G/P-6A79DF0AC-00
- 12/28/2004-i875P-W83627H-6A79BA19C-28
The hexadecimal string “6A69VM4WC” is unique per motherboard model. The date is usually the BIOS compile date.
An alternate way to get a (different) motherboard id is using the DMI functions.
Example
trace(system.getmoboid())
