Reference Guide

Property Description
name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and
is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the
same information can be present in both the Name and
ElementName properties.
LockPresent
Boolean indicating whether the Frame is protected with a lock.
Manufacturer
The name of the organization responsible for producing the
PhysicalElement. This organization 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
The name by which the PhysicalElement is generally known.
Name
The Name property defines the label by which the object is known.
When sub-classed, the Name property can be overridden to be a
Key property.
PackageType
Enumeration defining the type of the PhysicalPackage.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates that the package type is not known.
• 1 = Other — The package type does not correspond to an
existing enumerated value. The value is specified using the
OtherPackageType property.
• 2 = Rack
• 3 = Chassis/Frame
• 4 = Cross Connect/Backplane
• 5 = Container/Frame Slot
• 6 = Power Supply
• 7 = Fan
• 8 = Sensor
• 9 = Module/Card
• 10 = Port/Connector
• 11 = Battery
• 12 = Processor
• 13 = Memory
• 14 = Power Source/Generator
• 15 = Storage Media Package (example, Disk or Tape Drive)
• 16 = Blade
• 17 = Blade Expansion
NOTE:
This enumeration expands on the list in the Entity
MIB (the attribute, entPhysicalClass). The numeric
values are consistent with CIM's enum numbering
guidelines, but are slightly different than the MIB's
values.
The values Rack through Port/Connector are defined per the
Entity-MIB (where the semantics of rack are equivalent to the
MIB's stack value).
The other values (for battery, processor, memory, power source/
generator and storage media package) are self-explanatory. A value
of Blade should be used when the PhysicalPackage contains the
operational hardware aspects of a ComputerSystem, without the
supporting mechanicals such as power and cooling. For example, a
Blade Server includes processor(s) and memory, and relies on the
containing chassis to supply power and cooling.
