How dmidecode decode /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI

Question

As the following pictures, the dmidecode -t1 -u command shows the raw info, and dmidecode -t1 shows the formatted info.

But when I looking the [SMBIOS 3.1.1 specification][1], the "System Information (Type 1) structure" doesn't match the dmidecode -t1 -u output. There are only Header and Data: and Strings:, how are they match to the Type 1 structure?

The raw info path is /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI and /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/1-0/raw.

Picture: dmidecode -t1 -u

Picture: System Information (Type 1) structure
