ACPI tables are part of the firmware. You should update your BIOS/UEFI

If you have additional questions, please state the make/model of the

This is an 11+ year old workstation (tower, motherboard, and cpu chip). I see nothing in "apropos", "dnfdragora", or "dnf info" to provide the needed information.
How do I get this information?
You check the motherboard manufacturer's web page for BIOS updates. For
an 11-year old mobo it's unlikely that there'll be anything recent, but
you may get a more up to date version of the firmware than what you
have. In my case my mobo was also 11 years old (an MSI) and the last
update was several years ago. The mobo still worked but I got a new one
because I wanted M.2 slots and higher RAM capacity. Getting rid of the
ACPI warnings was a bonus.

My apologies for wording my question vaguely.
I think that when I bought this workstation 11 years ago, I bought the motherboard separately from the tower. But it was 11 years ago, so I'm quite uncertain. The motherboard might have come with the tower. The tower has an ASUS tag on its front panel/door, but that's all. Jeff wanted me to provide "make/model of the computer and the firmware revision". I don't know how to get that information.
