The following standard groups from the System Standards Group Definition, Approved Version 1.0, must be instrumented and deployed on DMI-instrumented systems compliant with these guidelines:
The following table contains standard groups related to system resource management from the System Standards Group Definition, Approved Version 1.0. All these groups are valid standard groups, but the groups designated as “Replacement” groups are designed to replace the two groups marked “Original.” The DMTF recommends that instrumentation migrate to the Replacement groups.
To be compliant with these guidelines, a DMI-instrumented system provides either all of the Original groups or all of the corresponding Replacement groups. It is highly recommended that the Replacement groups be selected for newly implemented instrumentation.
| DMI Standard Group | Implementation Guidelines |
| DMTF|System Resource 2|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|System Resource Device Info|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|System Resource DMA Info|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|System Resource I/O Info|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|System Resource IRQ Info|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|System Resource Memory Info|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|System Resources|001 | Original, recommended for legacy instrumentation only |
| DMTF|System Resources Description|001 | Original, recommended for legacy instrumentation only |
The following table contains standard groups related to physical memory management from the System Standards Group Definition, Approved Version 1.0. All of these groups are valid standard groups, but the groups designated as “Replacement” groups are designed to replace the group marked “Original.” The DMTF recommends that instrumentation migrate to the Replacement groups. To be compliant with these guidelines, a DMI-instrumented system should be instrumented with either the Original group or the corresponding Replacement groups. It is highly recommended that the Replacement groups be selected for newly implemented instrumentation.
| DMI Standard Group | Implementation Guidelines |
| DMTF|Memory Device|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|Memory Array Mapped Addresses|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|Memory Device Mapped Addresses|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|Physical Memory Array|001 | Replacement, recommended for new instrumentation |
| DMTF|Physical Memory|002 | Original, recommended for legacy instrumentation only |
The following standard groups from the LAN Adapter Standard Groups Definition, Release Version 1.0, must be instrumented and deployed on DMI-instrumented systems compliant with these guidelines:
