Miscellaneous Tools 0 Using DMITools 0 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. Copy qdmi301.EXE and VEEPROM.EXE to a bootable USB Flash Drive. 2. Boot system from the bootable USB Flash Drive. 3. Boot to DOS. 4. Type qdmi301 and click Enter. To execute a specific function, select the associated menu number. Figure 2-25. DMI Tools Main Menu Screen 2-22 System Utilities
