This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Height
-
-
Data type: real32
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Units ("inches")
Height of the physical package in inches.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.
-
-
HostingBoard
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, the card is a motherboard, or a baseboard in a chassis.
This property is inherited from CIM_Card.
-
-
HotSwappable
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, the package can be hot-swapped. A physical package can be hot-swapped if it is possible to replace the element with a physically different but equivalent element while the containing package has power applied to it that is, while it is ON. For example, a disk drive package inserted using SCA connectors is removable and can be hot-swapped. All packages that can be hot-swapped are inherently removable and replaceable.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.
-
-
InstallDate
-
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5"), DisplayName ("Install Date")
Date and time the object was installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Manufacturer
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (256)
Name of the organization responsible for producing the physical element.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.
-
-
Model
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)
Name by which the physical element is known.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.
-
-
Name
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Name")
Label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the property can be overridden to be a key property.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
OtherIdentifyingInfo
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Captures additional data, beyond asset tag information, that can be used to identify a physical element. One example is bar code data that is associated with an element that also has an asset tag. Note that if only bar code data is available and unique or able to be used as an element key, the property value would be NULL and the bar code data would be used as the class key, in the tag property.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.
-
-
PartNumber
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (256)
Part number assigned by the organization responsible for producing or manufacturing the physical element.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.
-
-
PoweredOn
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, the physical element is powered ON.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.
-
-
Product
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("SMBIOS|Type 2|Product")
Baseboard part number defined by the manufacturer.
-
-
Removable
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, a package is removable. A physical package is removable if it is designed to be taken in and out of the physical container in which it is normally found without impairing the function of the overall packaging. A package can still be removable if the power must be OFF to perform the removal. If the power can be ON and the package removed, then the element is removable and can be hot-swapped. For example, an extra battery in a laptop is removable, as is a disk drive package inserted using SCA connectors. However, the latter can also be hot-swapped. A laptop's display is not removable, nor is a nonredundant power supply. Removing these components would impact the function of the overall packaging, or is impossible due to the tight integration of the package.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.
-
-
Replaceable
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, a package is replaceable. A physical package is replaceable if it is possible to replace (FRU or upgrade) the element with a physically different one. For example, some computer systems allow the main processor chip to be upgraded to one of a higher clock rating. In this case, the processor is said to be replaceable. Another example is a power supply package mounted on sliding rails. All removable packages are inherently replaceable.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.
-
-
RequirementsDescription
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Card.SpecialRequirements")
Free-form string that describes the way in which this card is physically unique from other cards. The property only has meaning when the corresponding Boolean property SpecialRequirements is set to TRUE.
This property is inherited from CIM_Card.
-
-
RequiresDaughterBoard
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, at least one daughterboard or auxiliary card is required to function properly.
This property is inherited from CIM_Card.
-
-
SerialNumber
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)
Manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the physical element.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.
-
-
SKU
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)
Stock-keeping unit number for the physical element.
This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.
-
-
SlotLayout
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Free-form string that describes the slot position, typical usage, restrictions, individual slot spacing or any other pertinent information for the slots on a card.
This property is inherited from CIM_Card.
-
-
SpecialRequirements
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Card.RequirementsDescription")
If TRUE, this card is physically unique from other cards of the same type and therefore requires a special slot. For example, a double-wide card requires two slots. Another example is where a certain card may be used for the same general function as other cards but requires a special slot (for example, extra long), whereas the other cards can be placed in any available slot. If set to TRUE, then the corresponding property, RequirementsDescription, should specify the nature of the uniqueness or purpose of the card.
This property is inherited from CIM_Card.
-
-
Status
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10), DisplayName ("Status")
Current status of the object. Various operational and nonoperational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Nonoperational statuses include: "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
Values include the following:
-
-
OK ("OK")
-
Error ("Error")
-
Degraded ("Degraded")
-
Unknown ("Unknown")
-
Pred Fail ("Pred Fail")
-
Starting ("Starting")
-
Stopping ("Stopping")
