4-7 Award DMI Configuration Utility
DMI (Desktop Management Interface) is a new method of managing comput-
ers in an enterprise network. The main component of DMI is the
MIFD(Management Information Format database). This database contains all the
information about the computing system and its components. Using DMI, a system
administrator can obtain the types, capabilities, operational status, installation data
and other information about the system components.
We support DMI features in BIOS and provide a DMI utility to maintain a
MIFD file.
The system BIOS uses the same technology implemented for plug and play to
allow dynamic real-time update system information and store those collected
information (e.g. CPU type and speed, Bus frequency , memory size and speed) block
in the motherboard's Flash EPROM.
We also provide a friendly DMI utility (DMICFG.EXE) to allow the system
integrator or end user to place necessary information in MIFD such as the serial
number on the motherboard, add-on cards, monitor, etc. This information is not
detected by the system BIOS and has to be manually input through the DMI
utility.
8. After the programming finishes, remove the floppy disk and reset
the computer.
