Table 92. Location (continued)
Property Description
RackCluster Free form string identifying the rack cluster in which the managed element resides.
RackTheta Free form string identifying the rack theta.
RackUnit A rack unit is a standard measurement of height used to denote the amount of space
a physical component occupies in a rack. Rack capacity may be expressed in terms
rack units. When used to indicate location, rack units indicate an offset from the
bottom of rack. Thus RackUnit identifies a particular offset from the bottom of the
rack that is occupied by the managed resource. It is implementation-specific whether
the rack unit reported is the highest, lowest, or intermediate rack unit occuppied by
the managed resource.
Row Free form string identifying the row in which the managed element resides.
State Free form string identifying the state in which the managed element resides.
StreetAddressOne Free form string for the first line of a street address.
StreetAddressTwo Free form string for the second line of a street address. Uses of this property include
consistency with form based address entry, or if the number of characters in the
street address exceed MaxStringLength.
SetLocation (Method) This method allows you to change the physical location of the system.
DCIM_BIOSEnumeration
Table 93. BIOSEnumeration
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. <identifier>
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: <OrgID> : <LocalID> Where <LocalID> and <OrgID> are
separated by a colon :, 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.
IsReadOnly This property specifies if the underlying system BIOS or BIOSService
will not allow the Attribute to be modified through calls tothe methods
CIM_BIOSService.SetBIOSAttribute or CIM_BIOSService.SetBIOSDefaults. This does
not mean the Attribute can not be modified through other means. Only that the CIM
interfaceis not capable of making a change.
