wikiInstallation of device manager SM-Bus-Controller and PCI-Gerät - Intel Chipset INF Utility
After the installation of Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022, certain other devices often appear in the device manager. In this article, we show you how to install the Intel Chipset Device software. As a result, certain devices listed under other devices are displayed correctly.
Intel Alder Lake-U System as an example
In the example, a LES plus v4 with Alder Lake-U CPU i5-1235U is used.
The following other devices are displayed correctly in the device manager after installation:
- SM-Bus-Controller (PCI Vendor ID 8086 und PCI Device ID 51A3) -> Intel(R) SMBus - 51A3[1]
- PCI-Gerät (PCI Vendor ID 8086 und PCI Device ID 51A4) -> Intel(R) SPI (flash) Controller - 51A4[2]
Download
Download the following driver for the installation from the following page:
- Chipsatz INF Utility (www.intel.de)
Hint: The Intel Chipset Device software installs the Windows* INF files.[3] A INF file is a text file that provides the operating system with information about hardware components of the system. In the case of the current Intel Chipset Device software, this information is primarily the product name of the hardware. This allows the operating system to display the correct name for this hardware in the device manager.
The version 10.1.19444.8378 - 2023/03/28 supports the following chipsets:
- PackageType: Public - Installer version: 3.1.7.144 - Platforms inside: - [Version] [MS] [Name] - 10.1.50.8 Public: AlderLakePCH-N - 10.1.49.9 Public: RaptorLake - 10.1.46.3 Public: RaptorLakePCH-S - 10.1.45.9 Public: AlderLake - 10.1.43.5 Public: Tigerlake - 10.1.42.10 Public: Server_Common - 10.1.41.5 Public: RocketLake - 10.1.37.7 Public: AlderLakePCH-S - 10.1.36.7 Public: AlderLakePCH-P - 10.1.34.13 Public: TigerLakePCH-H - 10.1.33.5 Public: CometLakePCH-V - 10.1.32.3 Public: JasperLakePCH-N - 10.1.31.2 Public: CometLakePCH-H - 10.1.30.4 Public: CometLake - 10.1.29.4 Public: JasperLake+ - 10.1.28.2 Public: LakeField - 10.1.27.4 Public: CometLakePCH-LP - 10.1.25.6 Public: ElkhartLake - 10.1.24.6 Public: TigerlakePCH-LP - 10.1.22.3 Public: IceLakePCH-N - 10.1.20.3 Public: IceLake - 10.1.16.8 Public: CannonLake-H - 10.1.15.7 Public: CannonLake-LP - 10.1.14.8 Public: Coffeelake - 10.1.13.3 Public: Geminilake - 10.1.12.3 Public: IceLakePCH-LP - 10.1.11.4 Public: KabyLakePCH-H - 10.1.10.5 Public: Kabylake - 10.1.7.4 Public: Skylake - 10.1.6.2 Public: SunrisePoint-H - 10.1.5.3 Public: SunrisePoint-LP
Installation
The following steps must be performed for the installation (in the example, there is a system with Intel Core i5-1235U (Alder Lake-U) and Windows Server 2022 used):
-
SM-Bus-Controller in the device manager. -
Under ‘’'SM bus controller properties -> ‘’'Events'‘’ you can see the PCI Vendor ID 8086 and Device ID 51A3. -
PCI-Gerät in the device manager -
Under ‘’'SM bus controller properties -> ‘’'Events'‘’ you can see the PCI Vendor ID 8086 and Device ID 51A4. -
The file SetupChipset.exe can be found under downloads after the download. -
After starting, a welcome screen is displayed. -
Accept the license agreement to complete the installation. -
THe Readme-file is displayed. -
In chapter 2, you find information on system requirements. -
Subitem 3 lists the supported Windows operating systems (Windows 10 and 11 as well as Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022). -
The installation is ongoing. -
The installation is completed and a restart is required. -
Correct display of the system device Intel(R) SMBus - 51A3 after driver installation. -
Correct display of the system device Intel(R) SPI (flash) Controller - 51A4 after driver installation.
Extract of installation
If you want to view the INF files or the Readme file in text format, you can extract all files on the command line:
- SetupChipset.exe -extract [LIST OF OBJECTIVES]
After this, you can view the individual INF files. In the following, there is an extract of AlderLakePCH-PSystem.inf as an example:
