Multi-Product BIOS Change PCN (MX170QD, MX110H, RX170Q, RX110H, MX110HD)
Pre-notice of a pending multi-product BIOS change that will be implemented approximately in Q2/2017. This change is being implemented to add support for the newest Kaby Lake CPUs on our current Skylake industrial motherboards.
BCM is committed to always providing the latest and most updated technology to our customers on any given product platform. Although we try to avoid major changes as much as possible once a product is launched, when a significant technology enhancement such as this one becomes available so close after the initial launch of a new product we are compelled to make it available for the benefit of all customers. The estimated release date for these new BIOS is late Q1/2017. |
