2.3.2 Display the Value of a Single SMBIOS Field

Example command lines to display the System Family:

OS / Environment Example command syntax

Windows 32-bit iDmiEditWin32.exe /sf
Windows 64-bit iDmiEditWin64.exe /sf
UEFI 32-bit iDmiEditEfi32.efi /sf
UEFI 64-bit iDmiEditEfi64.efi /sf
Linux 32-bit iDmiEditLnx32 /sf
Linux 64-bit iDmiEditLnx64 /sf

Results:

2.3.3 Change a Single SMBIOS Field with the Command Line

Example command lines to change the System Family string to a new value:

OS / Environment Example command syntax

Windows 32-bit iDmiEditWin32.exe /sf “Frost”
Windows 64-bit iDmiEditWin64.exe /sf “Frost”
UEFI 32-bit iDmiEditEfi32.efi /sf “Frost”
UEFI 64-bit iDmiEditEfi64.efi /sf “Frost”

Linux 64-bit iDmiEditLnx64 /sf “Frost”

Results:

The command line can be used to change one or multiple SMBIOS fields at a time. Examples:

• iDMiEditWin64.exe /sm "MyManufacturer"

• iDMiEditWin64.exe /ss "1234567890"
• iDMiEditWin64.exe /sm "MyManufacturer" /ss "1234567890"

2.3.4 Change Multiple SMBIOS Fields with a Script File (SET.DMS)
If you want to change multiple SMBIOS settings at one time, follow these steps.

Step 1: Create the input script file:

OS / Environment Example command syntax

Windows 32-bit iDmiEditWin32.exe /dms set.dms
Windows 64-bit iDmiEditWin64.exe /dms set.dms
UEFI 32-bit iDmiEditEfi32.efi /dms set.dms
UEFI 64-bit iDmiEditEfi64.efi /dms set.dms
Linux 32-bit iDmiEditLnx32 /dms set.dms
Linux 64-bit iDmiEditLnx64 /dms set.dms

The file name must be SET.DMS. The following is an example of a SET.DMS input script file:

[System]
Manufacturer = Intel Corporation
Product = NUC8i7BEK
Version = 6.22
SerialNum = 123455
SKU = SKU12345
Family = Fam12345
UUID = 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF

[Chassis]
Manufacturer = Intel Corporation
Version = 1.22
SerialNum = 12222
TagNum = 122212
ChassisType = 0F
ChassisOEM = FFFF0000

[OemString]
String = Intel Corporation
String = http://www.intel.com
String = xxxxx

Step 2: Use a text editor to edit the SET.DMS file with the desired SMBIOS changes. You only need to
include the items you want to change.

The SET.DMS file must include at least one SMBIOS table entry – System, Chassis, or OemString. Each
SMBIOS table entry contains the SMBIOS table type name followed by the string to be edited, which is
separated by <space>=<space>.

10
Example:

[System]
Family = Frost Canyon

[Chassis]
SerialNum = 123456
TagNum = ABCDEF

Step 3: Update SMBIOS with the script file. Run the following command:

OS / Environment Example command syntax

Windows 32-bit iDmiEditWin32.exe set.dms
Windows 64-bit iDmiEditWin64.exe set.dms
UEFI 32-bit iDmiEditEfi32.efi set.dms
UEFI 64-bit iDmiEditEfi64.efi set.dms
Linux 32-bit iDmiEditLnx32 set.dms
Linux 64-bit iDmiEditLnx64 set.dms
