windows 7 - unknown device Dell e6530


I would like to find driver for a device, identified by the following hardware ID:


ven_8086&dev_1e3a&subsys_05351028&REV_04

In an Internet discussion I found that is PCI communication controller which is a modem. I tried to search on Dell website by service tag, but I couldn't find anything related.


The operating system is freshly installed. Windows 7 32-bit.



Answer




The Vendor ID is 8086, which is assigned to Intel Corp. The Device ID is 1e3a, and is related to the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI).



The Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) is an isolated and protected computing resource (Co-processor) residing inside certain Intel chipsets. The Intel ME provides support for computer/IT management features. The feature set depends on the Intel chipset SKU.


The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI, previously known as HECI) is the interface between the Host and Intel ME. This interface is exposed to the host as a PCI device. The Intel MEI Driver is in charge of the communication channel between a host application and the Intel ME feature.

You can find the driver in the official Dell support page under the Chipset category.
