How to check System Information and vendors of MotherBoard/Processor/RAM in Linux?

dmidecode command can be used to check the system’s information and manufacturers of MotherBoard, Processor, RAM and other hardware of your Linux server. If the dmidecode command doesn’t work, install it using YUM.

Check your Linux server architecture i.e. 32bit OR 64bit:

# uname -p

Search for the dmidecode package

# yum search dmidecode

Depending on the architecture, install the proper dmidecode package

# yum install dmidecode

You are done. To check all the hardware information of the server, execute

# dmidecode
