5.4Wired For Management (WFM)

Wired for Management (WMF) is an industry-wide initiative that increases the overall manageability and reduces the total cost of ownership. WFM allows a server to be managed over a network. The system BIOS supports the SMBIOS to help higher-level instrumentation software meet the WFM requirements. Higher-level software can use the information provided by SMBIOS to instrument the desktop management interface (DMI) that are specified in the WFM specification.

5.5Vital Product Data (VPD)

Vital Product Data (VDP) is product-specific data used for product and product component identification. It is stored in non-volatile memory and preserved through power cycles. The VPD contains information such as Product Serial Number, Product Model Number, Manufacturer Identification, etc.

The VPD is programmed during manufacturing. A user can update certain user-specific VPD information by using the Flash Update utility. The BIOS uses this data and displays it in SMBIOS structures and in BIOS Setup.

5.6System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)

The BIOS provides support for the SMBIOS specification to create a standardized interface for manageable attributes that are expected to be supported by DMI-enabled computer systems. The BIOS provides this interface via data structures through which the system attributes are reported. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the types, capabilities, operational status, installation date and other information about the system components.

Refer to the SE7520JR2 BIOS EPS for detail describing access methods to the SMBIOS structure tables.
