We encountered this error when running certification tests in a HP Proliant ML110 G5:
FAILED [HIGH] DMIStringIndexOutOfRange: Test 1, Out of range string index 0x09 while accessing entry
'Base Board Information (Type 2)' @ 0x000dc082, field 'Asset Tag', offset 0x08

So, basically this means that the Asset Tag string is the 9th string entry in this DMI data struct, but there aren't that many strings stored, and we've fallen off the end of the DMI entry. This is a firmware bug which means we can't fetch the Asset Tag string because of the bad index value. This won't cause problems because software normally figures out this is a bad entry. It requires a firmware fix to stop this error.
