For example, one array entry could specify RS-232 (value=25),
another DB-25 (value=23) and a third entry define the Connector as
"Male" (value=2). This single property is being deprecated instead of
using separate properties to describe the various aspects of the
connector. The separation allows for a more generic means of
describing the connectors. Obsolete connectors were intentionally
removed from the new list.
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.
Number
The Number property indicates the physical slot number, which can
be used as an index into a system slot table, whether or not that slot
is physically occupied.
SupportsHotPlug
Boolean indicating whether the Slot supports hot-plug of adapter
Cards.
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
