Description
The SMBIOS library scans the memory for BIOS information with respect to the SMBIOS table. When found the library adds entries of structures as documented in the SMBIOS 2.3.4 specification and are included in the table. The outlook of these entries is based on structure identifiers. Selecting a Structure Type will show its structure contents while selecting the root entry (SMBIOS structures) will show all entries.
The library has a menu option to rescan the for the SMBIOS table by selecting the SMBIOS Structures followed by a Mouse right-click.
The information shown on the main View window consists of the raw data for the structure as well as details of the various fields for each SMBIOS type. Units for the SMBIOS types are in Hex format unless otherwise specified. Types, number of structures reported and Table version are in decimal format.
The raw data display memory information as found starting with the Structure Type, Structure Size and Handle ID.
Topology in the Parameters Pane
The library inserts under the SMBIOS Configuration entry in the Parameters window, the structures detected during the memory scan. There is only a single level of detail in the parameters window. This information includes the structure name. The topology can be updated using the refresh option with a mouse right click operation within the parameters window and under the SMBIOS entry.
Data View
All information described in the main view follows the SMBIOS 2.x specifications. The library displays hex data along with detailed information for each structure.
Static Configuration
The SMBIOS configuration has two areas. The first refers to SMBIOS table revisions the library will search and test for while the second refers to raw data the library will include.
When Auto-Detect is enabled, the library will retrieve the SMBIOS version from the SMBIOS table found and use its associated structures. When Auto-Detect is disabled the user may specify an SMBIOS revision for the library to use. This revision is based on a particular SMBIOS specification. With Auto-Detect disabled only structures documented for the selected SMBIOS table revision will be analyzed and displayed. Default implementation is Auto-Detect enabled.
Selecting the Include Raw Data option, the library will include the data bytes for each structure in the main View window of HWAccess..
