There is just one manual for {X7DBT,X7DGT}{,-INF}. The BIOS reports just the base variant (as shown), and is the same for these four boards.

i am not so sure that the infiniband controller or the chipset version
is "outside the purview" of the bios, but it is not noted in the DMI
data apparently. this is expected and that's the reason i have asked
for the exact motherboard model ;)
other versions will probably also just work, but we (try to) note the
exact board versions in our supported hardware database to be on the
safe side. if you test the other variants i am happy to add those too.
i have added the X7DBT-INF version to the database and will commit that
later. thanks again!
