Reference Guide

Property Description
property allows all instances of this class and its
subclasses to be uniquely identified.
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.
ManufactureDate
The date that this PhysicalElement was
manufactured.
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 subclassed, the Name
property can be overridden to be a Key property.
OtherPackageType
A string describing the package when the
instance's PackageType property is 1 (Other).
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
