Changing DMI Strings
Some of the DMI strings in the Intel desktop board BIOSes can be changed using the utilty attached to this article. To run the utility, you will need a Windows 98SE bootable USB pen drive.
- Make the USB pen drive command prompt bootable.
- Disable UEFI boot in the BIOS, if enabled.
- Extract the utility to the pen drive.
- Boot the system from the pen drive (use the F10 option to get the boot menu).
- Run DMI.BAT
The following strings will be prompted for:
- System serial number (this should be the serial number on the Stone serial number sticker).
- Bay Number (normally this is not used; Stone systems may have a QC tracking number here).
- Chassis Asset Tag (this should be used for the end-customer asset tag number).
This DMI utility will also program "OEGStone" into the BIOS as a manufacturer string.
And lastly:
- Start the system back up and re-enable UEFI boot in the BIOS if it was previously enabled.
Applies to:
- Stone / Clevo notebook models N120, NT210-H, NT308, NT309, NT310 and NT310-H
