Property Description
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely 
identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, 
the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following preferred algorithm: 
<OrgID> : <LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where 
<OrgID> 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 
<Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure 
uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first 
colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID>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 <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.

Property Description
ActionOnExpirationSupported
ActionOnExpirationSupported indicates the actions which can be performed when the 
watchdog timer expires. See CIM_PlatformWatchdogService.ActionOnExpiration for a 
description of the values.
Possible values are:
• 2 = None - Status Only
• 3 = System Reset
• 4 = System Power Off
• 5 = System Power Off, then On
• 6 = Generate System NonMaskableInterrupt (NMI)
• 7 = Generate System Management Interrupt (SMI)
• 8 = Reset Monitored Entity
ElementName
The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name 
can be used as a index property for a search of query.
NOTE: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.
ElementNameEditSupported
Boolean indicating whether the ElementName can be modified.
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely 
identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value 
of InstanceID should be constructed using the following preferred algorithm:
<OrgID> : <LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must 
include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business 
entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the 
business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema 
Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, 
<OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in 
InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen by the 
business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) 
elements. If the above 
preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that 
the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other 
providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the 
preferred 
algorithm must be used with the <OrgID>set to CIM.
