execute su -c over ssh

Use -t to force ssh to allocate a tty:

ssh -t -t remote-user su -c dmidecode

You might also consider allowing root to ssh directly. If you're using public key authentication, this may be more secure as you won't be passing a password around. If you decide to do this, consider blocking root logins from anywhere except your trusted IP addresses by putting the following in /etc/security/access.conf:

+ : root : 10.20.30.40
- : root : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL

and make sure UsePAM isn't disabled in sshd_config
