5 - Breach Successful
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.
VendorCompatibilityStrings
An array of strings that identify the component that is compatible with, and can be inserted in a slot that reports this string as one of the array
element in the VendorCompatibilityStrings. This allows system administrators to determine whether it is appropriate to insert a package into a
slot to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, each value defined by the vendor for use in the VendorCompatibilityStrings property SHOULD
be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: : Where and are separated by a colon ':', and where 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 _ structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure
uniqueness MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between and . is
chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements.
ChangePropertyOwenershipTag (Method) This method allows a user to change the Property Ownership Tag of a system.
ChangeAssetTag (Method) This method allows a user to change the Asset Tag of a system.
DCIM_Chip
CanBeFRUed Boolean that indicates whether this PhysicalElement can be FRUed (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
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 sub classed 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.
Manufacturer
The name of the organization responsible for producing the PhysicalElement. This organization may be the entity from where 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.
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 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.
DCIM_DesktopMonitor
Bandwidth Monitor's bandwidth in MHertz. If unknown, enter 0.
Brightness
This property represents the brightness/Luminance of the video output. The property value is from 0 to the MaxBrightness property value. If the
Brightness property is implemented but the brightness is unknown at the time, the property has a value 0x80000000.
Caption The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
ColorCodeFormatSupported Color code format supported.
ColorDepthBits Color Bit Depth.

32768..65535 - DMTF Reserved
Indicates the ability of the instrumentation to communicate with the underlying ManagedElement. A Null return indicates the implementation
(provider) does not implement this property.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown - Indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
1 - Not Available - Indicates that the implementation (provider) is capable of returning a value for this property, but not ever for this particular
