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.
