Reference Guide

Property Description
allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be
uniquely identified.
Description
A short description of the docking.
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.
Name
The Name property defines the label by which the object
is known. When sub classed, the Name property can be
overridden to be a Key property.
SerialNumber
A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the
physical element.
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, etc. For example, a
hot swappable or removable component may be taken
from its containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily
unused. The object still 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.
