System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)

SMBIOS is a Server Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a managed network.

The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use

SMBIOS.

The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:

BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level

Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags

Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed

Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging

Non-Plug and Play operating systems, such as Windows NT, require an additional interface for obtaining the SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information.
