33 = Ethernet Connection
.. = DMTF reserved
0x8000..0xFFFF = Vendor Reserved
SharingMode
Indicates how access to underlying resource is granted.
Possible values are:
0 = Unknown
1 = Other
2 = Dedicated - Exclusive access to underlying resource
3 = Shared - shared use of underlying resource.
.. = DMTF reserved
0x8000..0xFFFF = Vendor Reserved
Actual quantity is controlled by min, max size, weights, etc.
DCIM_BIOSServiceCapabilities
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed
using the following 'preferred' algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> 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 <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness
<OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the
resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace.
For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.
MethodsSupported
This property advertises the methods that are supported by the service
Possible values are:
0 = SetBIOSAttribute
1 = RestoreBIOSDefaults
2 = SetBIOSAttributeEmbeddedInstance
3 = ReadRawBIOSData
4 = WriteRawBIOSData
5 = SetBIOSAttributes

DCIM_SoftwareInstallationServiceCapabilities
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed

Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID,

For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.
SupportedAsynchronousActions
Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed as asynchronous jobs. If an operation is included in both this and SupportedSynchronousActions then the underlying implementation is indicating that it may or may
not create a job. If a Job is created, then the methods in SoftwareInstallationService return a reference to that Job as the Job parameter.
Possible values are:
2 = None supported
3 = Install From Software Identity
4 = Install from ByteStream
5 = Install from URI
SupportedInstallOptions
An enumeration indicating the specific install related optionssupported by this service. Since this is an array, multiple values may be specified. See the InstallOptions parameter of
theSoftwareInstallationService.InstallFromSoftwareIdentity method for the description of these values.
Possible values are:
2 = Defer target/system reset
3 = Force installation
4 = Install
5 = Update
6 = Repair
7 = Reboot
8 = Password
9 = Uninstall
10 = Log
11 = SilentMode
12 = AdministrativeMode
.. = DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 = Vendor Specific
SupportedTargetTypes
An array containing a list of SoftwareIdentity.TargetType properties that this service 'knows' how to install. TargetType is an application specific string which is invariant across version or name changes of the
SoftwareIdentity and so can be used by a client to select Software Identities compatible with this service.
If the service is generic (for example an OS installer), this array will be empty.
SupportedURISchemes
This property lists the URI schemes supported by the SoftwareInstallationService.
Possible values are:
2 = data
3 = file
4 = ftp
5 = http
6 = https
7 = nfs
8 = tftp
.. = DMTF Reserved
0x8000..0xFFFF = Vendor Specific
