6.1 Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) 307
Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) is a component identifier that uniquely represents a specific 308
system device or component in a platform independent of the operating system, and the device vendor. 309
The Dell CIM data model utilizes FQDDs to correlate different aspects of representing a component, such 310
as hardware inventory view, configurable attribute, software inventory and so on. FQDDs are used by 311
software, such as BIOS, UEFI applications that link Unified Server Configurator (USC), and remote 312
management applications to identify various system components in a persistent way. 313
For NIC devices, the FQDD is used to uniquely identify a particular port. For CNA devices, FDQQ is used 314
to uniquely identify a partition. See Table 2 - NIC FQDD examples and Table 3 - CNA FQDD Example for 315
examples. 316
