Table 16. PhysicalMemory (continued)
Property Description
SerialNumber A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the Physical
Element.
SKU The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
Speed The speed of the PhysicalMemory, in nanoseconds.
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 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.

Table 17. PhysicalPackage
Property Description
CreationClassName Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in
the creation of an instance. When used with the other key
properties of this class, this 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).
