Table 2-2. CIM_PhysicalPackage Properties
Class Name: CIM_PhysicalPackage
Parent Class:  CIM_PhysicalElement
Property Description Data Type
 Removable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is removable if it is designed to be 
taken in and out of the physical container in which it is 
normally found without impairing the function of the 
overall package. 
Boolean
Replaceable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is replaceable if it is possible to 
substitute a physically different element for the original 
element, as in a field replaceable unit (FRU). For example, 
some computer systems allow the microprocessor to be 
upgraded to one of a higher clock rating. In this case, the 
microprocessor is said to be replaceable.
