Property Description
(This is similar to the _ structure of Schema class names.) In 
addition, to ensure uniqueness MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). 
When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID 
MUST appear between and . is chosen by the business entity and 
SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-
world) elements.

Property Description
CanBeFRUed 
Boolean that indicates whether this PhysicalElement can be FRUed 
(TRUE) or not (FALSE).
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation 
of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this 
class, this property allows all instances of this class and its 
subclasses to be uniquely identified.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each 
instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key 
properties, identity data, and description information.
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement 
is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often 
sub classed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the 
same property can convey both identity and a user-
friendly 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.
Manufacturer
The name of the organization responsible for producing the 
PhysicalElement. This organization may be the entity from where 
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.
PartNumber
The part number assigned by the organization that is responsible 
for producing or manufacturing the PhysicalElement.
SerialNumber 
A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the Physical 
Element.
SKU
The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
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 to 
independently identify the hardware or entity, regardless of 
physical placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, and so on.
