4.16 SMBIOS

The BIOS provides support for the SMBIOS specification to create a standardized interface for
manageable attributes that are expected to be supported by DMI-enabled computer systems. The
BIOS provides this interface via data structures through which the system attributes are reported.
Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the types, capabilities, operational status,
installation date and other information about the system components.

The following table describes the types of SMBIOS structures supported by the system BIOS.
