Property Description
• 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.

Property Description
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.
