The engine will only work with the following chipsets: Intel® B150 Chipset, Intel® B250 Chipset, Intel® B360 Chipset, Intel® B365 Chipset, Intel® H110 Chipset, Intel® H170 Chipset, Intel® H270 Chipset, Intel® H310 Chipset, Intel® H370 Chipset, Intel® Management Engine Firmware (Intel® ME FW), Intel® Management Engine Interface (Intel® MEI), Intel® Q150 Chipset, Intel® Q170 Chipset, Intel® Q250 Chipset, Intel® Q270 Chipset, Intel® Q370 Chipset, Intel® X299 Chipset, Intel® Z170 Chipset, Intel® Z270 Chipset, Intel® Z370 Chipset, Intel® Z390 Chipset, Mobile Intel® HM170 Chipset, Mobile Intel® HM175 Chipset, Mobile Intel® HM370 Chipset, Mobile Intel® QM170 Chipset, Mobile Intel® QM175 Chipset, Mobile Intel® QM370 Chipset, and Mobile Intel® QMS380 Chipset.
