DMI ACCESS

DMI Access

DMI, or desktop Management Interface, is a feature that is able to auto-detect and record information about your computer system. This information is used by com- puting professionals to accurately determine your system configuration and to diagnose and resolve problems.

The computer’s BIOS will detect and record as much information as it is able to, and will store that information in a special location in the BIOS.

The DMI configuration utility will allow system integrators to add information that the BIOS cannot detect, such as model and brand of motherboard and other compo- nents. This information cannot be detected by the bios and must be added by the system integrator or vendor.
