BIOS

address range 000F0000h to 000FFFFFh. This entry point encapsulates an intermediate anchor string, which is used by some existing DMI browsers.

The total number of structures can be obtained from the SMBIOS entry-point structure. The system information is presented to an application as a set of structures that are obtained by traversing the SMBIOS structure table referenced by the SMBIOS entry-point structure. The following table describes the types of SMBIOS structures supported by the system BIOS.

Table 30. SMBIOS Header Structure

Structure Type

Supported

Comments

BIOS Information (Type 0)

Yes

One record for the system BIOS. SMBIOS 2.3 does not

 

 

allow the use of type 0 records to describe the option

 

 

ROMs. The system BIOS version string is described in

 

 

Section 6.44

System Information (Type 1)

Yes

 

Baseboard Information (Type 2)

Yes

 

Chassis Information (Type 3)

Yes

 

Processor Information (Type 4)

Yes

One for every processor slot.

Memory Controller Information (Type 5)

No

Browsers should use Type 16 records.

Memory Module Information (Type 6)

No

Browsers should use Type 17 records.

Cache Information (Type 7)

Yes

Two records for every processor. One record describes L1

 

 

cache and the second one describes L2 cache. The

 

 

disabled bit in the cache configuration field is set if the

 

 

corresponding processor is absent or disabled.

Port Connector Information (Type 8)

Yes

Describes the baseboard connectors including IDE, floppy,

 

 

SCSI, keyboard, mouse, COM ports, and parallel port.

System Slots (Type 9)

Yes

One record for each PCI slot. The number of PCI slots is

 

 

determined by a supported 1U or 2U riser.

On-board Device Configuration (Type 10)

Yes

One for each on-board device, like SCSI controller, video

 

 

controller etc.

OEM Strings (Type 11)

Yes

From OEM GPNV area.

System Configuration Options (Type 12)

Yes

Describes the baseboard jumper settings.

BIOS Language Information (Type 13)

Yes

 

Group Association (Type 14)

No

None required.

Event Log (Type 15)

No

Absent if the system is IPMI compliant. In that case, the

 

 

System Event Log can be accessed using the IPMI

 

 

standard, not SMBIOS specification. Present if event log

 

 

can be accessed using SMBIOS methods.

Physical Memory Array (Type 16)

Yes
