CIM_Fan

The CIM_Fan class explained in Table 3-19 contains a set of devices that work to keep the ambient

internal temperature of the system at a safe value by circulating air.

CIM_UserDevice

The CIM_UserDevice class shown in Table 3-20 contains logical devices that allow a computer system’s

users to input, view, or hear data. Classes derived from CIM_UserDevice include CIM_Keyboard and

= TRUE, the fan supports variable speeds. When a variable speed fan is

supported (VariableSpeed Boolean = TRUE), the actual speed is determined

using a sensor (CIM_Tachometer) that is associated with the fan.
