Property Description Data Type
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 property
can be overridden to be a Key
property.
string
Status Provides a string indicating the
status of the component. Status
values include:
Operational Status Values:
• OK indicates that the object is
functioning normally.
• Degraded means that the
item is functioning, but not
optimally.
• Stressed indicates that the
element is functioning, but
needs attention. Examples of
Stressed states are
overloaded, overheated, and
so on.
Nonoperational Status Values:
• Non-recover means that a
nonrecoverable error has
occurred.
• Error means that an element
has encountered an
