Intel WfM full support Your computer supports not only the required functions of the (Wired for Management (WfM) but also recommended functions of the WfM. Those functions are: Instrumentation (required function) Remote new system setup (recommended function) Remote Wake on LAN (recommended function) Power management-ACPI compliance (required function) Desktop Management Interface (DMI) Desktop Management Interface (DMI)4 is an interface for managing computers in a network. Using DMI, a system administrator can easily make an inventories of all the software and hardware of the computers on a network. DMI can be used to remotely track many types of information about networked computers, including serial numbers, memory attributes, product-specific characteristics of installed devices, and operating system configuration information. System Management BIOS Reference Specification (SMBIOS) Version 2.2 The basic input/output system (BIOS) of your computer supports an interface called System Management BIOS Reference Specification (SMBIOS) Version 2.2. The SMBIOS provides some of the hardware component information. It is the responsibility of the BIOS to supply this database with information about itself and the devices on the Chapter 9.

The following sections tell you more about the functions and the
software that provides these functions.
Your computer supports the DMI function using the Desktop
Management BIOS (DMI BIOS).
Intel WfM full support
Your computer supports not only the
required
functions of the (Wired

recommended
functions of the WfM.
Those functions are:
Instrumentation (

is an interface for managing
computers in a network.
Using DMI, a system administrator can
easily make an inventories of all the software and hardware of the
computers on a network.
DMI can be used to remotely track many
types of information about networked computers, including serial
numbers, memory attributes, product-specific characteristics of
installed devices, and operating system configuration information.
System Management BIOS Reference Specification (SMBIOS)

The basic input/output system (BIOS) of your computer supports an
interface called System Management BIOS Reference Specification
(SMBIOS) Version 2.2.
The SMBIOS provides some of the hardware
component information.
