Using DMITools

The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) Tool copies BIOS information to EEPROM to be used in the DMI pool for hardware management.

When the BIOS displays Verifying DMI pool data it is checking that the table correlates with the hardware before sending to the operating system (Windows, etc.).

To update the DMI Pool, perform the following steps:

1.Boot into DOS.

2.Execute dmitools. The following messages report to screen to confirm completion:

dmitools /r ==> Read dmi string from bios

dmitools /wm xxxx ==> Write manufacturer name to eeprom (max. 16 characters)

dmitools /wp xxxx ==> Write product name to eeprom (max. 16 characters)

dmitools /ws xxxx ==> Write serial number to eeprom (max. 22 characters)

dmitools /wu xxxx ==> Write uuid to eeprom

dmitools /wa xxxx ==> Write asset tag to eeprom (max. 32 characters)

The following examples show the commands and the corresponding output information.

Read DMI Information from Memory

Input:

dmitools /r

Output:

Manufacturer (Type1, Offset04h): Acer

Product Name (Type1, Offset05h): TravelMate xxxxx

UUID String (Type1, Offset08h): xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Asset Tag (Type3, Offset04h): Acet Asstag

Write Product Name to EEPROM

Input:

dmitools /wp Acer

Write Serial Number to EEPROM

Input:

dmitools /ws 01234567890123456789

4 ). Write UUID to EEPROM ( Create UUID from Intel WFM20.pdf )

Input:

dmitools /wu

5). Write Asset Tag to EEPROM

Input:

dmitools /wa Acet Asstag

NOTE: When using any of the Write options, restart the system to make the new DMI data effective.
