Property Description
AttributeName
A string identifying the structured element name for a BIOS attribute
using the format <OrgID> : <identifier> in which <OrgID> , does
contain a colon (:). The value of <OrgID> is a copyrighted,
trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the entity
defining the <identifier>, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the
entity by a recognized global authority. For DMTF defined identifiers,
the <OrgID> is set to DMTF and the <identifier> is specified in the
BIOS Attribute Registry.
CurrentValue
CurrentValue returns an empty array.
ElementName
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.
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement 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 can be present in both the
Name and ElementName properties.
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID
opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to
ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID
SHOULD be constructed using the following preferred algorithm:
<OrgID> : <LocalID>Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by
a colon ' : &apos,and where <OrgID> MUST include a
copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned
by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a
registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized
global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class
Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure
uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (:). When using this
algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear
between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.<LocalID> is chosen by the business
entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying
(real-world) elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not used,
the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not
re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers
for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the
preferred algorithm MUST be used with the<OrgID> set to CIM.
MaxLength
This property specifies the maximum string length allowed when
modifying this BIOS attribute. A value of NULL defines the maximum
length is unknown. A value of 0 defines the maximum length as
18446744073709551615, the limitation of the property definition as
uint64.
MinLength
This property specifies the minimum string length allowed when
modifying this BIOS attribute. A value of NULL is defined as zero.
