Test 2 of 4: Test DMI/SMBIOS tables for errors.
SMBIOS table loaded from /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI
PASSED: Test 2, Entry @ 0x000f04d0 'BIOS Information (Type 0)'
FAILED [MEDIUM] DMIProductVersion: Test 2, String index 0x03 in table entry
'System Information (Type 1)' @ 0x000f0512, field 'Version', offset 0x06 has a
default value 'System Version' and probably has not been updated by the BIOS
vendor.

ADVICE: The DMI table contains data which is clearly been left in a default
setting and not been configured for this machine. Somebody has probably
forgotten to define this field and it basically means this field is effectively
useless. Note that the kernel uses this field so it probably should be corrected
to ensure the kernel is using sane values.

FAILED [MEDIUM] DMISerialNumber: Test 2, String index 0x04 in table entry
'System Information (Type 1)' @ 0x000f0512, field 'Serial Number', offset 0x07
has a default value 'System Serial Number' and probably has not been updated by
the BIOS vendor.
