No serial number on B550 Taichi

   Hi,

I tried to read out the serial number of my B550 Taichi, which I bought 2021 from a large vendor but there is no number set to the motherboard.

I know that there should be a sticker on the board itself but I am curious about why I cannot read the information directly. Maybe this board is not genuine?

Is it common that the serial number information is omitted on some hardware?

Thanks :)

	Serialnumber are never in the BIOS, and this is a genuine product. System integrators like Dell and HP, use a serialnumber in BIOS, and when a board is replaced, they use a tool to write a new serialnumber into the BIOS, based on the serialnumber on the outside of the chassis. The serialnumber is on a sticker, and it is ofter on the IO ports shroud, sometiems on the side, where the 8Pin CPU power is connected on the board. But is is never, integrated in the BIOS.
	Kind Regards

	Thank you for this reply. I guess, all custom home made builds have no serial number in BIOS then.
