DELL_FanSensor
The DELL_FanSensor class described in Table 5-1 defines a Dell-specific
association between a fan and a sensor. The CIM_PackageFanSensor class
contains fans that assist in cooling the entire package as opposed to a fan that
is dedicated to cooling only some of the components in the package.
CIM_PackageTempSensor
The CIM_PackageTempSensor class listed in Table 5-2 contains temperature
sensors that are often installed in a package such as a chassis or a rack to assist
in the monitoring of the package in general. This relationship is described by
the CIM_PackageTempSensor association.
