Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The

DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information

about your system configuration and stores these information in the

DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play BIOS.

DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is designed

to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer

systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on using the DMI

utility.
