Title:
  FWTS reports several HIGH failures on an server

Status in “fwts” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ran fwts as part of the certification suite on a server and noted
  several HIGH level failures causing our test to fail.  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.
