Property Description
uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID 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. 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 set to 'CIM'.
MaxLength
This property specifies the maximum string length allowed when
modifying this BIOS attribute. A value of NULL defines the maximum
length is unknown. A value of 0 defines the maximum length as
18446744073709551615, the limitation of the property definition as uint64.
StringType
The StringType property provides management applications with
information defining implementation's capabilities regarding string values.
A value of ASCII indicates a plain text formatting with no tabs formating or
bolds, plain text. A value of hex indicates a simple encoding of the
numerals 0 to 9 and the letters A to F and is not case sensitive. A value of
unicode indicates fully multi-lingual text support. A string BIOS Attribute
with value of regex is a regular expression and the
CIM_BIOSString.ValueExpression is applied to values represented and
any value that is attempted to be set by invoking SetBIOSAttribute().
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = ASCII
• 3 = hex
• 4 = unicode
• 5 = regex .. = DMTF Reserved
• 65536..4294967295 = Vendor Reserved
