CIM_SlotInSlot class
The CIM_SlotInSlot relationship represents the ability of a special adapter to extend the existing slot structure to enable otherwise incompatible cards to be plugged into a frame or hosting board. Slots are special types of connectors into which adapter cards are typically inserted. The adapter effectively creates a new slot and can be thought of (conceptually) as a slot in a slot. Cards that would otherwise be physically or electrically incompatible with the existing slots would be supported by interfacing to the slot provided by the adapter. For example, networking boards are very expensive. As new hardware becomes available, chassis and card configurations change. To protect the investment of their customers, networking vendors will manufacture special adapters that enable old cards to fit into new chassis or hosting boards or new cards to fit into old cards by using a special adapter that fits over one or more existing slots and presents a new slot into which the card can fit.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of its inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Remarks
The CIM_SlotInSlot class is derived from CIM_ConnectedTo.
