CIM_PhysicalCapacity Superclass: CIM_ManagedElement
PhysicalCapacity is an abstract class describing a PhysicalElement's minimum/maximum requirements and ability to support different types of hardware. For example, minimum and maximum memory requirements can be modeled as a subclass of CIM_PhysicalCapacity.

Note that the items described in subclasses of PhysicalCapacity, for example the class ConfigurationCapacity, are either directly PhysicalElements (such as I/O slots or storage library magazines) or closely associated to PhysicalElements via the Realizes relationship (i.e., LogicalDevices such as batteries or processors).

Parameters (local in grey)
MaxLen ( 256 )
string Name ;
The Name property defines the label by which the Physical Capacity object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
string 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 that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed 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.
MaxLen ( 64 )
string Caption ;
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
string Description ;
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
