HI Mauricio,

The following command did not work : sudo apt install --allow-downgrades dmidecode/jammy-updates

I was able to download and install dmidecode 3.4 to my jammy instance. I checked the version with dmidecode --v and it stated 3.4.

I uploaded my updates bios with slot information, slot pitch and slot width, and checked with the two commands below:

$sudo dmidecode -t 9 |more
$sudo dmidecode -t 9 -u |more

The "-u" command confirmed that the last 5 bytes in the Header and Data hex info were 05 0A A2 03 00 for the E3 PCIe5 drives. However, dmidecode confirmed they were x4 EDSFF E3 drives under slot type and that they were SHort under Length. However, It was missing the additional information to designate the generation and slot pitch/width of the drives.

I'll attach screenshots so that you can see what I'm talking about.

Can you add these items so that they can match the spec, please.
