Desktop Management Interface
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) is an industry body created in 1992 with the goal of
standardizing systems manageability. DMTF established the Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
framework to standardize access to PC configuration data. Compaq, as a Steering Committee and
Technical Committee member of the DMTF, delivers hardware and software instrumentation that
supports the DMI standard.
For more information on configuring the DMI software, refer to the online Intelligent Manageability
Guide.
