Property Description
name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and 
is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the 
same information can be present in both the Name and 
ElementName properties.
LockPresent 
Boolean indicating whether the Frame is protected with a lock.
Manufacturer
The name of the organization responsible for producing the 
PhysicalElement. This organization may be the entity from whom 
the Element is purchased, but this is not necessarily true. The latter 
information is contained in the Vendor property of CIM_Product.
Model
The name by which the PhysicalElement is generally known.
Name 
The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. 
When sub-classed, the Name property can be overridden to be a 
Key property.
PackageType 
Enumeration defining the type of the PhysicalPackage.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates that the package type is not known.
• 1 = Other — The package type does not correspond to an 
existing enumerated value. The value is specified using the 
OtherPackageType property.
• 2 = Rack
• 3 = Chassis/Frame
• 4 = Cross Connect/Backplane
• 5 = Container/Frame Slot
• 6 = Power Supply
• 7 = Fan
• 8 = Sensor
• 9 = Module/Card
• 10 = Port/Connector
• 11 = Battery
• 12 = Processor
• 13 = Memory
• 14 = Power Source/Generator
• 15 = Storage Media Package (example, Disk or Tape Drive)
• 16 = Blade
• 17 = Blade Expansion
NOTE: 
This enumeration expands on the list in the Entity 
MIB (the attribute, entPhysicalClass). The numeric 
values are consistent with CIM's enum numbering 
guidelines, but are slightly different than the MIB's 
values.
The values Rack through Port/Connector are defined per the 
Entity-MIB (where the semantics of rack are equivalent to the 
MIB's stack value).
The other values (for battery, processor, memory, power source/
generator and storage media package) are self-explanatory. A value 
of Blade should be used when the PhysicalPackage contains the 
operational hardware aspects of a ComputerSystem, without the 
supporting mechanicals such as power and cooling. For example, a 
Blade Server includes processor(s) and memory, and relies on the 
containing chassis to supply power and cooling.
