dmidecode is a command for displaying BIOS hardware information.

When working remotely with several computers, you sometimes want to verify that you are on the right iron. For that, the program dmidecode exists - just start it by typing dmidecode. You get all information about the computer that the vendor put into the BIOS. There are different paragraphs ("handles"), for example like that:

    Handle 0x0100
          DMI type 1, 25 bytes.
