Using DMITools

The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) Tool copies BIOS information to EEPROM
(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). Used in the DMI pool for
hardware management.
When the BIOS shows Verifying DMI pool data, it is checking that the table
correlates with the hardware before sending information to the operating system
(Windows, etc.).
To update the DMI Pool, perform the following:
1. Boot system from bootable USB Flash Drive.
2. Boot to DOS.
3. Execute qdmi301.exe. To execute a specific function, select the associated menu
number.
