Reference Guide
Property Description
NOTE: When EnabledState is set to 5 (Not Applicable), then this property has 
no meaning. Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations 
of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. Unknown (0) indicates the 
last requested state for the element is unknown.
NOTE: The value No Change (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the 
last requested state is Unknown (0). If the last requested or desired state is 
unknown, RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but may have 
the value No Change (5). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been 
requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. There are two 
new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. 
These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Reboot refers to doing a Shut Down and 
then moving to an Enabled state. Reset indicates that the element is first 
Disabled and then Enabled.
Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and may involve removing 
power, to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an immediate 
disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or 
processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on 
CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method 
approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit 
invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement, 
the property is NULL or has the value 12 Not Applicable.
Stepping
Stepping is a free-form string that indicates the revision level of the Processor within the 
Processor.Family.
SystemCreationClassName 
The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
SystemName 
The System Name of the scoping system.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — Indicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates the implementation does not support representing 
ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of 
transitioning.
UniqueID 
A global unique identifier for the processor. This identifier can be unique only within a 
processor family.
UpgradeMethod 
CPU socket information that includes data on how the processor can be upgraded (if 
upgrades are supported). This property is an integer enumeration.
Possible values are:
