Property Description
In many respects, a Blade can be considered a Module/Card. 
However, it is tracked differently by inventory systems and differs 
in terms of service philosophy. For example, a Blade is intended to 
be hot-plugged into a hosting enclosure without requiring additional 
cabling, and does not require a cover to be removed from the 
enclosure for installation. Similarly, a Blade Expansion has 
characteristics of a 
Blade and a Module/Card. However, it is 
distinct from both due to inventory tracking and service philosophy, 
and because of its hardware dependence on a Blade. A Blade 
Expansion must be attached to a Blade prior to inserting the 
resultant assembly into an enclosure.
PartNumber 
The part number assigned by the organization that is responsible 
for producing or manufacturing the PhysicalElement.
PropertyOwnershipTag
Property Ownership Tag of a system.
SecurityBreach
An enumerated, integer-valued property indicating whether a 
physical breach of the Frame was attempted but unsuccessful 
(value = 4) or attempted and successful (value = 5).
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Unknown
• 3 = No Breach
• 4 = Breach Attempted
• 5 = Breach Successful
SKU 
The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
Serial Number 
Manufacturer-allocated number is used to identify the physical 
element.
Version
Indicates the version of the identified physical element.
Tag 
An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical Element and 
serves as the key of the Element. The Tag property can contain 
information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for 
PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order 
to independently identify the hardware or entity, regardless of 
physical placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, and so on. For 
example, a hotswappable or removable component can be taken 
from its containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily unused. 
The object still continues to exist and can even be inserted into a 
different scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical 
Element is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any 
placement or location-oriented hierarchy.
VendorCompatibilityStrings
An array of strings that identify the component that is compatible 
with, and can be inserted in a slot that reports this string as one of 
the array element in the VendorCompatibilityStrings. This allows 
system administrators to determine whether it is appropriate to 
insert a package into a slot to ensure uniqueness within the 
NameSpace, each value defined by the vendor for use in the 
VendorCompatibilityStrings property SHOULD be constructed 
using the following 
preferred algorithm: : Where and are separated 
by a colon ':', and where 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
