DCIM_BootCongSetting
An instance of DCIM_BootCongSetting represents a boot conguration that is used during the boot process. For example, on client
systems, there are two types of boot congurations — Legacy and UEFI. So, DCIM_BootCongSetting has a maximum of two instances
to represent, one each for Legacy and UEFI.
You can determine if the DCIM_BootCongSetting represents Legacy, using the following properties:
• InstanceID = "DCIM:BootCongSetting:Next:1"
• ElementName = "Next Boot Conguration Setting : Boot List Type 1"
You can determine if the DCIM_BootCongSetting represents UEFI, using the following properties:
• InstanceID = "DCIM:BootCongSetting:Next:2"
• ElementName = "Next Boot Conguration Setting : Boot List Type 2"
DCIM_BootSourceSetting
This class represents the boot devices or sources. The ElementName, BIOSBootString, and StructuredBootString properties contain a
string that identies the boot devices. For example, oppy, hard disk, CD/DVD, network, Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (PCMCIA), Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), or USB. Based on the boot list type of the device, an instance of
DCIM_BootSourceSetting is associated with one of the instances of DCIM_BootCongSetting.
DCIM_OrderedComponent
The DCIM_OrderedComponent association class is used to associate instances of DCIM_BootCongSetting with instances of
DCIM_BootSourceSetting representing one of the boot list types (Legacy or UEFI) to which the boot devices belongs. The
GroupComponent property of DCIM_OrderedComponent refers to the DCIM_BootCongSetting instance and the PartComponent
property refers to the DCIM_BootSourceSetting instance.
