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 to DOS.
2. Execute qdmi30a.exe.
