Property Description Data Type
LowerThresholdNonCritical If current reading is between lower 
threshold noncritical and upper threshold 
noncritical, the current state is normal. See 
Figure 3‑2.
sint32
LowerThresholdCritical If the current reading is between upper 
threshold critical and upper threshold fatal, 
the current state is critical. See Figure 3‑2.

IsLinear Indicates that the sensor is linear over its 
dynamic range.
Boolean
Manufacturer Provides the name of the organization 
responsible for producing the 
CIM_PhysicalElement or 
CIM_SoftwareElement. This may be the 
entity from whom the element is purchased, 
but not necessarily. Purchase information is 
contained in the vendor property of 
CIM_Product.
string
Name Denes the label by which the object is 
known. When subclassed, the Name 
property can be overridden to be a Key 
property.
string
Status Provides a string indicating the status of the 
component. Status values include:
Operational Status Values:
• OK indicates that the object is 
functioning normally.
• Degraded means that the item is 
functioning, but not optimally.
• Stressed indicates that the element is 
functioning, but needs attention. 
Examples of Stressed states are 
overloaded, overheated, and so on.
Nonoperational Status Values:
• Non-recover means that a 
nonrecoverable error has occurred.
• Error means that an element has 
encountered an operational condition 
that is severe as compared to its normal 
mode of operation.
string
SystemCreationClassName Indicates the system’s creation class name. string
UnitModier Provides the unit multiplier for the values 
returned by this sensor. All the values 
returned by this sensor are represented in 
units of 10 raised to the power of the unit 
modier. If the unit modier is –6, then the 
units of the values returned are microvolts. 
The units apply to all numeric properties of 
the sensor, unless explicitly overridden by 
the units’ qualier.
