Find hardware type in your FreeBSD server

January 6, 2009 by Rob

On freebsdhowtos a short howto is written to find out which hardware is installed in your FreeBSD machine.

From the howto:
[quote]Dmidecode is a tool or dumping a computer’s DMI (some say SMBIOS) table
contents in a human-readable format. The output contains a description of the
system’s hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information
such as serial numbers and BIOS revision.[/quote]

install it from /usr/ports/sysutils/dmidecode

just run it without any options:
[shell]root@bsdfreaks ~ # dmidecode
sample output (stripped):
