is an interface for managing
computers in a network. Using DMI, a system administrator can
easily make an inventories of all the software and hardware of the
computers on a network. DMI can be used to remotely track many
types of information about networked computers, including serial
numbers, memory attributes, product-specific characteristics of
installed devices, and operating system configuration information.
Desktop Management BIOS (DMI BIOS) Version 2.0
The basic input/output system (BIOS) of your computer supports an
interface called the Desktop Management BIOS (DMI BIOS). The
DMI BIOS provides some of the hardware component information. It
is the responsibility of the BIOS to supply this database with
information about itself and the devices on the system board. The
DMI BIOS Specification documents the standards for accessing this
BIOS information.

DMI is a standard defined by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) for gathering information about the hardware and software in your
computer so that network administrators can remotely monitor and control it.
