Property Description
media package) are self-explanatory. A value of Blade
should be used when the PhysicalPackage contains the
operational hardware aspects of a ComputerSystem,
without the supporting mechanicals such as power and
cooling. For example, a Blade Server includes processor(s)
and memory, and relies on the containing chassis to
supply power and cooling. In many respects, a Blade can
be considered a Module/Card. However, it is tracked
differently by inventory systems and differs in terms of
service philosophy. For example, a Blade is intended to
be hot-plugged into a hosting enclosure without requiring
additional cabling, and does not require a cover to be
removed from the enclosure for installation. Similarly, a
Blade Expansion has characteristics of a Blade and a
Module/Card. However, it is distinct from both due to
inventory tracking and service philosophy, and because of
its hardware dependence on a Blade. A Blade Expansion
must be attached to a Blade prior to inserting the
resultant assembly into an enclosure.
PartNumber The part number assigned by the organization that
is responsible for producing or manufacturing the
PhysicalElement.
PropertyOwnershipTag Property Ownership Tag of a system.
SecurityBreach An enumerated, integer-valued property indicating whether a
physical breach of the Frame was attempted but unsuccessful
(value = 4) or attempted and successful (value = 5). Possible
values are:
● 1 = Other
● 2 = Unknown
● 3 = No Breach
● 4 = Breach Attempted
● 5 = Breach Successful
SKU The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
Serial Number
Manufacturer-allocated number is used to identify the physical
element.
Version
Indicates the version of the identified physical element.
Tag An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical
Element and serves as the key of the Element. The Tag
property can contain information such as asset tag or serial
number data. The key for PhysicalElement is placed very high
in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the
hardware or entity, regardless of physical placement in or on
Cabinets, Adapters, and so on. For example, a hotswappable
or removable component can be taken from its containing
(scoping) Package and be temporarily unused. The object still
continues to exist and can even be inserted into a different
scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical Element
is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any
placement or location-oriented hierarchy.
