9.4 Retrieve the Power Supply’s Power Output Information
A client can determine the power output information for a given instance of CIM_PowerSupply by
retrieving the TotalPowerOutput property.
9.5 Reset the Power Supply
A client can reset the power supply as follows:
1) For the given instance of CIM_PowerSupply, find the associated instance of
CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities.
2) If the CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities.RequestedStatesSupported property is a non-
empty array that contains the value 11 (Reset), execute the RequestStateChange(
) method
