Dell-Defined Classes
Server Administrator has extended some CIM classes and has created new classes to assist in managing systems and their
components. In this document, the illustrations of the classes created and populated by Dell are represented by an orange circle
icon.
Common Properties of Classes
Many classes have properties such as Caption, Description, and CreationClassName. Common Properties of Classes defines
properties that have the same meaning in every class that has this property and are defined more than once in this guide.
Table 2. Common Properties of Classes
Property Description Data Type
Caption Describes the object using a short
textual description (one‑line string).
string
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.
string
CSCreationClassName Indicates the computer system’s
creation class name.
string
CSName Indicates the computer system’s name. string
CurrentReading Indicates the actual current value
indicated by the sensor in amperes.
sint32
Description Provides a textual description of the
object.
string
LowerThresholdNonCritical If current reading is between lower
threshold noncritical and upper threshold
noncritical, the current state is normal.
See Figure 3‑2.
sint32
LowerThresholdCritical If the current reading is between upper
threshold critical and upper threshold
fatal, the current state is critical. See
Figure 3‑2.
sint32
IsLinear Indicates that the sensor is linear over its
dynamic range.
Boolean
Manufacturer Provides the name of the
organization responsible for producing
the CIM_PhysicalElement or
CIM_SoftwareElement. This may be
the entity from whom the element is
purchased, but not necessarily. Purchase
information is contained in the vendor
property of CIM_Product.
string
Name Defines the label by which the object
is known. When subclassed, the Name
string
