Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The 586STE system board comes with a DMI built into the BIOS. DMI,
along with the appropriately networked software, is designed to make
inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer systems
easier. With DMI, a network administrator or MIS engineer can remotely
access some information about a particular computer system without
physically going to it. Quite often a service call may be unnecessary as
the problem can be solved remotely.
The DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information
about your system configuration. Information about the type and speed
of CPU, type and amount of memory for each memory slot, BIOS revi-
sion level, types of add-in PCI boards and components, certain revision
numbers of hardware installed, etc. are automatically detected and
stored in the DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and
Play BIOS. Additional information, such as ISA based peripherals,
which may not be automatically detected, can be manually recorded in
the DMI pool by using the Add DMI menu. The DMI pool data is then
verified or updated whenever the system hardware or setup is altered.
Running the DMI Utility
To run the DMI utility, type: DMICFG.EXE. You can download this utility
from http://www.dfi.com.tw - BIOS & DRIVERS section or ftp.dfiusa.com -
/pub/DMI directory.
