DMI defines the software, interfaces, and data files that enable the system to determine and report information about system components. If the system has a Dell-installed Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Windows NT operating system, DMI is already installed on the system's hard-disk drive. To learn more about DMI, double-click the Dell DMI Help icon in the Dell DMI folder under the Start button.
