From what I have used, the DMI (Desktop Managment Interface) is just a way
for the Bios to tell the operating system what is there. Not a way of
changing it. Here is the Definition from Award Software:

Desktop Management Interface. A framework created by the DMTF. DMTF
specifications define industry-standard interfaces for instrumentation
providers and management applications.

Sorry if that is not what you were wanting to know.... There is more info.
