Contents of the DMI Package
The DMI software and associated documentation is supplied preinstalled on the OmniBook's hard

installed on each computer separately. The DMI package included with the OmniBook can be used
only with the OmniBook.
The following software is supplied with the DMI package:
A Microsoft Windows utility, SETUP.EXE, to install and initialize the DMI software.
A Windows utility, HP TopTools. After DMI is installed, this utility can be used to display
information about the computer through the DMI.
