Keys |
Tag | string | Max = 256 | An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical Element and serves as the Element's key. The Tag property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the hardware/entity, regardless of physical placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, etc. For example, a hotswappable or removeable component may be taken from its containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist - and may even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical Element is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy.
|
CreationClassName | string | Max = 256 | CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
|
Writeable |
OtherIdentifyingInfo | string | - | OtherIdentifyingInfo captures additional data, beyond that of Tag information, that could be used to identify a Physical Element. One example is bar code data associated with an Element that also has an asset tag. Note that if only bar code data is available and is unique/able to be used as an Element key, this property would be NULL and the bar code data used as the class key, in the Tag property.
|
UserTracking | string | - | User-assigned and writeable asset tracking identifier for the PhysicalElement.
|
Read only |
NumberOfPowerCords | uint16 | - | Integer indicating the number of power cords which must be connected to the Chassis, for all the componentry to operate.
|
CurrentRequiredOrProduced | sint16 | - | Current required by the Chassis at 120V. If power is provided by the Chassis (as in the case of a UPS), this property may indicate the amperage produced, as a negative number.
|
HeatGeneration | uint16 | - | Amount of heat generated by the Chassis in BTU/hour.

ChassisTypes | uint16[ ] | Other Unknown Desktop Low Profile Desktop Pizza Box Mini Tower Tower Portable LapTop Notebook Hand Held Docking Station All in One Sub Notebook Space-Saving Lunch Box Main System Chassis Expansion Chassis SubChassis Bus Expansion Chassis Peripheral Chassis Storage Chassis Rack Mount Chassis Sealed-Case PC Multi-system Chassis | The use of this property is deprecated in lieu of ChassisPackageType. A physical package should not have multiple form factors. Therefore, this property is being deprecated in lieu of a single value property. \nAn enumerated, integer-valued array indicating the type of Chassis.
|
TypeDescriptions | string[ ] | - | The use of this property is deprecated in lieu of a single value property, ChassisTypeDescription. \nAn array of free-form strings providing more information on the ChassisTypes array entries. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in ChassisTypes that is located at the same index.

ChassisPackageType | uint16 | Unknown Other SMBIOS Reserved Desktop Low Profile Desktop Pizza Box Mini Tower Tower Portable LapTop Notebook Hand Held Docking Station All in One Sub Notebook Space-Saving Lunch Box Main System Chassis Expansion Chassis SubChassis Bus Expansion Chassis Peripheral Chassis Storage Chassis SMBIOS Reseved Sealed-Case PC SMBIOS Reserved DMTF Reserved Vendor Reserved | ChassisPackageType indicates the physical form factor for the type of Chassis.
|
ChassisTypeDescription | string | - | A string providing more information on the ChassisPackageType.
|
MultipleSystemSupport | uint16 | Unknown True False | MultipleSystemSupport indicates whether or not this chassis supports multiple systems, for example server blades.
|
RackMountable | uint16 | Unknown True False | RackMountable indicates whether or not the chassis is Rack Mountable.
|
CableManagementStrategy | string | - | CableManagementStrategy is a free-form string that contains information on how the various cables are connected and bundled for the Frame. With many networking, storage-related and power cables, cable management can be a complex and challenging endeavor. This string property contains information to aid in assembly and service of the Frame.
|
ServicePhilosophy | uint16[ ] | Unknown Other Service From Top Service From Front Service From Back Service From Side Sliding Trays Removable Sides Moveable | ServicePhilosophy is an enumerated, integer-valued array that indicates whether the Frame is serviced from the top (value=2), front (3), back (4) or side (5), whether it has sliding trays (6) or removable sides (7), and/or whether the Frame is moveable (8), for example, having rollers.
|
ServiceDescriptions | string[ ] | - | An array of free-form strings providing more detailed explanations for any of the entries in the Service Philosophy array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in ServicePhilosophy that is located at the same index.
|
LockPresent | boolean | - | Boolean indicating whether the Frame is protected with a lock.
|
AudibleAlarm | boolean | - | Boolean indicating whether the Frame is equipped with an audible alarm.
|
VisibleAlarm | boolean | - | Boolean indicating that the equipment includes a visible alarm.
|
SecurityBreach | uint16 | Other Unknown No Breach Breach Attempted Breach Successful | SecurityBreach is an enumerated, integer-valued property indicating whether a physical breach of the Frame was attempted but unsuccessful (value=4) or attempted and successful (5). Also, the values, \"Unknown\", \"Other\" or \"No Breach\", can be specified.
|
BreachDescription | string | - | BreachDescription is a free-form string providing more information if the SecurityBreach property indicates that a breach or some other security-related event occurred.
|
IsLocked | boolean | - | Boolean indicating that the Frame is currently locked.
|
RemovalConditions | uint16 | Unknown Not Applicable Removable when off Removable when on or off | The RemovalCapabilites property is used to describe the conditions under which a PhysicalPackage can be removed. Since all PhysicalPackages are not removable, this property defaults to 2, 'Not Applicable'.
|
Removable | boolean | - | The use of this property is being deprecated. Instead RemovalConditions should be used. The RemovalConditions property addresses whether a PhysicalPackage is removable with or without power being applied. \nA PhysicalPackage 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 power must be 'off' in order to perform the removal. If power can be 'on' and the Package removed, then the Element is both Removable and HotSwappable. For example, an extra battery in a laptop is Removable, as is a disk drive Package inserted using SCA connectors. However, the latter is also HotSwappable. A laptop's display is not Removable, nor is a non-redundant power supply. Removing these components would impact the function of the overall packaging or is impossible due to the tight integration of the Package.
|
Replaceable | boolean | - | The use of this property is being deprecated because it is redundant with the FRU class and its associations. A PhysicalPackage is Replaceable if it is possible to replace (FRU or upgrade) the Element with a physically different one. For example, some ComputerSystems 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.
|
HotSwappable | boolean | - | The use of this property is being deprecated. Instead RemovalConditions should be used. The RemovalConditions property addresses whether a PhysicalPackage is removable with or without power being applied. \n\nA PhysicalPackage is HotSwappable if it is possible to replace the Element with a physically different but equivalent one while the containing Package has power applied to it (ie, is 'on'). For example, a disk drive Package inserted using SCA connectors is both Removable and HotSwappable. All HotSwappable packages are inherently Removable and Replaceable.
|
Height | real32 | - | The height of the PhysicalPackage in inches.
|
Depth | real32 | - | The depth of the PhysicalPackage in inches.
|
Width | real32 | - | The width of the PhysicalPackage in inches.
|
Weight | real32 | - | The weight of the PhysicalPackage in pounds.
|
ElementName | string | - | A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name IN ADDITION TO its key properties/identity data, and description information. \nNote that ManagedSystemElement's Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
|
Manufacturer | string | Max = 256 | The name of the organization responsible for producing the PhysicalElement. This may be the entity from whom the Element is purchased, but this is not necessarily true. The latter information is contained in the Vendor property of CIM_Product.
|
Model | string | Max = 256 | The name by which the PhysicalElement is generally known.
|
SKU | string | Max = 64 | The stock keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
|
SerialNumber | string | Max = 256 | A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the Physical Element.
|
Version | string | Max = 64 | A string indicating the version of the PhysicalElement.
|
PartNumber | string | Max = 256 | The part number assigned by the organization responsible for producing or manufacturing the PhysicalElement.
|
PoweredOn | boolean | - | Boolean indicating that the PhysicalElement is powered on (TRUE), or is currently off (FALSE).
|
ManufactureDate | datetime | - | Date that this PhysicalElement was manufactured.
|
VendorEquipmentType | string | - | A vendor-specific hardware type for the PhysicalElement. It describes the specific equipment type for the element, as defined by the vendor/manufacturer.
|
CanBeFRUed | boolean | - | Boolean indicating whether this PhysicalElement can be FRUed (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
|
InstallDate | datetime | - | A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
|
Name | string | Max = 1024 | The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
|
OperationalStatus | uint16[ ] | Unknown Other OK Degraded Stressed Predictive Failure Error Non-Recoverable Error Starting Stopping Stopped In Service No Contact Lost Communication Aborted Dormant Supporting Entity in Error Completed Power Mode DMTF Reserved Vendor Reserved | Indicates the current status(es) of the element. Various health and operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self- explanatory. However, a few are not and are described in more detail. \n\"Stressed\" indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of \"Stressed\" states are overload, overheated, etc. \n\"Predictive Failure\" indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. \n\"In Service\" describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. \n\"No Contact\" indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it. \n\"Lost Communication\" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. \n\"Stopped\" and \"Aborted\" are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the element's state and configuration may need to be updated. \n\"Dormant\" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. \n\"Supporting Entity in Error\" describes that this element may be \"OK\" but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower layer networking problems. \n\"Completed\" indicates the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error. \n\"Power Mode\" indicates the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. \nOperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/instrumentation provide BOTH the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus SHOULD contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.
|
StatusDescriptions | string[ ] | - | Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if \"Stopping\" is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.
|
Status | string | OK Error Degraded Unknown Pred Fail Starting Stopping Service Stressed NonRecover No Contact Lost Comm Stopped | A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons: 1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the Deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.
|
Caption | string | Max = 64 | The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
|
Description | string | - | The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
