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.

Property Description
AttributeName
A string identifying the structured element name for a BIOS attribute using the
format (:) in which , does contain a colon (:). The value of is a copyrighted,
trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the entity defining the , or
is a registered ID that is assigned to the entity by a recognized global authority. For
DMTF defined identifiers, the is set to DMTF and the is specified in the BIOS
Attribute Registry.
CurrentValue
An array of strings representing the current value or values of the BIOS Attribute.
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: :Where and are separated by a colon (:), and where 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 _
structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness MUST NOT
contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID
MUST appear between and . 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 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
