@Jeff, as it is, this probably needs some investigation, but I don't think it's going to cause any grief to the way the machine fundamentally behaves. I think we need some feedback from the vendor to see what they say about this discrepancy.

All of the failures were from the dmi_decode test and I was able to manually confirm this. The first one is from the Chassis info (Type 3): 00018 dmi_decode FAILED [HIGH] DMIInvalidHardwareEntry: Test 1, Unmatched Chassis Type SMBIOS 00019 dmi_decode Type 3 reports 1c ACPI FACP reports 3 Here is the actual output from dmidecode: Handle 0x0003, DMI type 3, 22 bytes Chassis Information Manufacturer: Acer Type: Blade Lock: Not Present Version: Serial Number: Asset Tag: Boot-up State: Safe Power Supply State: Safe Thermal State: Safe Security Status: None OEM Information: 0x00000000 Height: Unspecified Number Of Power Cords: 1 Contained Elements: 0 SKU Number: And the DTMF standard says this in section 7.4 (grokked from the fwts log advice): 1Ch Blade. An SMBIOS implementation for a Blade would contain a Type 3 Chassis structure for the individual Blade system as well as one for the Blade Enclosure that completes the Blade system. The rest are related to several DMIValueOutOfRange errors. I will let you look at those via the log file.
