Table 93. BIOSEnumeration (continued)
Property Description
PossibleValues An array of strings containing possible value definitions for the Attribute. The first
element SHOULD not be NULL and there SHOULD be no NULL or empty string
elements intermixed with populated array element values. A Value of NULL indicates
an element's value is unknown.
PossibleValuesDescription An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in
the CIM_BIOSEnumeration.PossibleValues array. Note that each entry of this array is
related to the entry in PossibleValues array that is located at the same index.

Property Description Supported

System(s)
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. Windows, Linux
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; : &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.

isSet This property returns TRUE if the current password instance filed has certain
values and set to FALSE. This property is provided because the Value property is
defined as NULL for password instances.
Windows, Linux
isUsed This property specifies if the password has been successfully verified at least
once after the password was set earlier. Following are the values:
