setting manufacturer for chassis in SMBIOS
Hi. How do I populate the "Manufacturer" field in the chassis section of SMBIOS? It is blank and I need it to say:
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
I need something like this:
> racadm hwinventory
[InstanceID: System.Embedded.1]
Manufacturer = Dell Inc.
Here is current dmidecode output:
> dmidecode -t 3
# dmidecode 3.1
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 3.3 present.
# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 3.1.1 are not
# fully supported by this version of dmidecode.
Handle 0x0300, DMI type 3, 22 bytes
Chassis Information
Manufacturer:
Type: Rack Mount Chassis
Thanks.

Hi, I’m not aware what you wanna do with SMBIOS (System Management BIOS) but this may help.

Hi Young,
Thanks for responding. Let me try to clarify.
I have a PowerEdge 7515 and we have tools that look for the Manufacturer setting to be "Dell, Inc.", but it is blank. I gave some examples of output. I am wondering if there is a racadm command I can use to populate that field.
For example, a SuperMicro appliance has an app called "sum" that let's me write things like this into the BIOS using Linux command line. I assume racadm has this capability, but I have not been able to find it. If I run "racadm hwinventory" the Manufacturer is blank.
Thanks.

Hi Marco,
Thank you.
I believe I need to request the config.txt file from Dell and upload it using iDRAC browser.
Thanks
