You can find more information here: https://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios . Basically, the system BIOS leaves a small table in memory that can be found by the OS after system boot. This table has a standardized format that can easily be parsed by application software. Several Dell-specific hardware features, such as BIOS update, CMOS Tokens, SMI, hardware probes (temperature, fan, etc) are represented in the SMBIOS tables. Because of this, libsmbios has code to enable these features on Dell systems. EOF
