Fpr 7:
" If the system's BIOS does not have SMBIOS version 2.6 or higher and 
this data, the new naming convention will not be used. Most older 
hardware does not support this feature because of a lack of BIOSes with 
the correct SMBIOS version and field information. For BIOS or SMBIOS 
version information, contact your hardware vendor."
