Thanks! I've now looked at the output from different servers/motherboards
from the past years (ASUS, Dell, GIGABYTE, HP, 2x Supermicro).


In the system and base board output there was (only) the following
relevant information:

System Information
	Manufacturer: Thomas-Krenn.AG
	Product Name: RS700-E11-RS12U 1HE Intel Dual-CPU RI2112-ASXSN Server CHECKLISTE
	Version: 00
Base Board Information
	Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
	Product Name: Z13PP-D32 Series
	Version: 60SB09M0-SB0G11

But to avoid blindness, and since the unfiltered output is not that long,
we could include it as a whole.


The chassis output contains several potentially interesting lines. So we
could include that as a whole too:

Handle 0x0300, DMI type 3, 21 bytes
Chassis Information
->	Manufacturer: HP
->	Type: Rack Mount Chassis
	Lock: Not Present
	Version: Not Specified
	Serial Number: (...)
	Asset Tag:
->	Boot-up State: Critical
->	Power Supply State: Critical
->	Thermal State: Safe
	Security Status: Unknown
	OEM Information: 0x00000000
	Height: 2 U
->	Number Of Power Cords: 2
	Contained Elements: 0
