OEMs often turn off motherboard features and just as often motherboard makers will leave off or disable parts and features on their motherboards for the OEMs who order them. So that means your motherboard may have less or missing features on it than a same model mobo from another OEM or the mobo maker. You need to find the Samsung specs of your motherboard and compare them with the Foxconn specs carefully to see if you can use the Foxconn BIOS. I have done this many times and never had a problem but that does not mean it will always work. The fact is, I have often not done it because the specs were different in critical areas that could cause the board to brick if the BIOS was wrong so I chose not to flash the BIOS.
You may well want to consider just downloading the latest BIOS from Samsung and use that. You could also try getting help with any BIOS modifications from forums such as bios-mods.
