16 - Blade
17 - Blade Expansion
Note: This enumeration expands on the list in the Entity MIB (the attribute, entPhysicalClass). The numeric values are consistent with CIM's
enum numbering guidelines, but are slightly different than the MIB's values.
The values "Rack" through "Port/Connector" are defined per the Entity-MIB (where the semantics of rack are equivalent to the MIB's 'stack'
value). The other values (for battery, processor, memory, power source/generator and storage 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.
SerialNumber A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the Physical Element.
SKU The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
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.
Version A string that indicates the version of the PhysicalElement.
DCIM_ParallelPort
BaseIOAddress An integer value that represents the base I/O address used by the parallel port.
ConnectorType
ConnectorType is defined to force consistent naming of the 'connector type' property in subclasses and to guarantee unique enum values for all
instances of ParallelPort.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Centronics
2 - Mini-Centronics
3 - Proprietary - Indicates that the related property OtherConnectorType contains a string description of the type of port.
4 - DB-25 Female
5 - DB-25 Male
.. - DMTF Reserved
32768.. - Vendor Reserved
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.
DeviceID An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the LogicalDevice.
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.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an element.
Possible values are:
2 - Enabled
3 - Disabled
5 - Not Applicable
6 - Enabled but Offline
7 - No Default
9 - Quiesce .. - DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 - Vendor Reserved
By default, the element is "Enabled" (value=2).
EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these
requested states. For example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Other
2 - Enabled - Indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
3 - Disabled - Indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
4 - Shutting Down - Iindicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
5 - Not Applicable - Indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled.
6 - Enabled but Offline - Indicates that the element may be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.
7 - In Test - Indicates that the element is in a test state.
8 - Deferred - Indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
9 - Quiesce - Indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to
an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
10 - Starting
11..32767 - DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 - Vendor Reserved
IRQLevel An integer value that represents the IRQ level used by the parallel port.
Pinout
The pinout used by the I/O device on this parallel port.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - XT/AT
2 - PS/2
3 - ECP
4 - EPP
5 - IEEE 1284
25 - PC-98
26 - PC-98-Hireso
.. - DMTF Reserved
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was
requested. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current
enabled or disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no meaning. Refer to the
EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. "Unknown" (0) indicates the last requested
state for the element is unknown.
Note: The value "No Change" (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the last requested state is "Unknown" (0). If the last requested or
