HostingBoard Boolean indicating that this Card is a Motherboard or, more generically, a baseboard in a Chassis.
PCCardNameandVersion Returns the name and the version of the card in the PC Card slot.
Tag An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the physical element and serves as the Element's key. The Tag
property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for physical element is placed
very high in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the hardware/entity, regardless of physical
placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, and so on. For example, a hot swappable or removable component may
be taken from its containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily unused. The object continues to exist - and
may 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.
Dell_PhysicalMemory
AssetTag A string number for the asset tag of this memory device.
BankLabel A string identifying the physically labeled bank where the Memory is located - for example, 'Bank 0' or 'Bank A'.
Capacity The total capacity of this physical memory, in bytes.
Caption The caption of the device.
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.
DataWidth Data width of the physical memory, in bits. A data width of 0 and a total width of 8 would indicate that the
Memory is solely used to provide error correction bits.
Description A short Description of the device.
DeviceLocator A string identifying the physically labeled socket or board position where the memory device is located. For
example, 'SIMM 3' or 'IC12'.
FormFactor The implementation form factor for the Chip.

Manufacturer The name of the organization responsible for producing the physical element. This 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.
Note: This property displays the JEDEC ID code for the manufacturer of the memory. For information on JEDEC
ID codes, see www.jedec.org

Name
Defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a
Key property.
PartNumber The part number assigned by the organization responsible for producing or manufacturing the physical element.
SerialNumber A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the physical element.
Speed The speed of the physical memory, in nanoseconds.
