How do I find out my motherboard model?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last Updated: 10/11/2024

This post is just used to document and gather some information. In a perfect world I might end up reviewing scripts which can collect information about a system. Much like SUSEs supportconf which gathers a series of reports; creates a tarball and ships them back to SUSE under the case number.


root@nas1:/home/ubuntu# sudo dmidecode -t 2
# dmidecode 3.5
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.

Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 15 bytes
Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: ASRock
        Product Name: QC5000-ITX
        Version:
        Serial Number: M80-53020000240
        Asset Tag:
        Features:
                Board is a hosting board
                Board is replaceable
        Location In Chassis:
        Chassis Handle: 0x0003
        Type: Motherboard
        Contained Object Handles: 0


Additional info that can be gathered.


From SUSE:

supportconf is a tools which gathers a number of reports and sticks it in a tarball. It then uses curl to post the data back to SUSE.

supportconf -r <caseid>


To gather memory

root@nas1:/home/ubuntu# cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
MemTotal:        3425976 kB


To list block devices

root@nas1:/home/ubuntu# lsblk

To enumerate the blkids. This is especially helpful for working out the details of mounting block devices at boot time through the use of the fstab file. Please note in that instance the UUID of the actual mapped logical volume (as opposed to each of the BLOCK devices which contribute to the logical volume built by aggregating multiple block devices.
