CIM_Slot Superclass: CIM_PhysicalConnector
The Slot class represents Connectors into which Packages are inserted. For example, a PhysicalPackage that is a DiskDrive may be inserted into an SCA 'Slot'. As another example, a Card (subclass of PhysicalPackage) may be inserted into a 16-, 32-, or 64-bit expansion 'Slot' on a HostingBoard. PCI or PCMCIA Type III Slots are examples of the latter.

MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|System Slot|005.2" }
uint16 ConnectorType [ ] ;
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Slot.SpecialPurpose" }
string PurposeDescription ;
A free-form string describing that this Slot is physically unique and may hold special types of hardware. This property only has meaning when the corresponding boolean property, SpecialPurpose, is set to TRUE.
Experimental
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_PhysicalPackage.VendorCompatibilityStrings" }
string VendorCompatibilityStrings [ ] ;
An array of strings that identify the components that are compatible and can be inserted in a slot. This allows vendors to provide clues to the system administrators by providing sufficient information to request the appropriate hardware that can populate the slot. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, each value defined by the vendor for use in the VendorCompatibilityStrings property SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements.

MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|Entity-MIB.entPhysicalAssetID" }
string UserTracking ;
User-assigned and writeable asset-tracking identifier for the PhysicalElement.
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|Entity-MIB.entPhysicalVendorType" }
string VendorEquipmentType ;
A vendor-specific hardware type for the PhysicalElement. It describes the specific equipment type for the element, as defined by the vendor or manufacturer.
Write
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|Entity-MIB.entPhysicalAlias" }
string OtherIdentifyingInfo ;
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures data in addition to Tag information. This information could be used to identify a Physical Element. One example is bar code data associated with an Element that also has an asset tag. Note that if only bar code data is available and is unique or able to be used as an Element key, this property would be null and the bar code data would be used as the class key, in the Tag property.

MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|Entity-MIB.entPhysicalMfgName" , "MIF.DMTF|FRU|003.4" }
string Manufacturer ;
The name of the organization responsible for producing the PhysicalElement. This organization might be the entity from whom the Element is purchased, but this is not necessarily true. The latter information is contained in the Vendor property of CIM_Product.
MaxLen ( 64 )
string SKU ;
The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string Tag ;
An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical Element and serves as the key of the Element. The Tag property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the hardware or entity, regardless of physical placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, and so on. For example, a hotswappable or removable component can be taken from its containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist and can even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical Element is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy.

uint16 HealthState ;
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined:
'Non-recoverable Error' (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
'Critical Failure' (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible.
'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded.
'Degraded/Warning' (10) - The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors.
'OK' (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error.
'Unknown' (0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
string StatusDescriptions [ ] ;
Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if 'Stopping' is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.

ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ;
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, and so on.
'Predictive Failure' indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
'In Service' describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
'No Contact' indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
'Lost Communication' indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
'Stopped' and 'Aborted' are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Supporting Entity in Error' indicates that this element might be 'OK' but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
'Completed' indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
'Power Mode' indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

string Status ;
A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:
1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.
MaxLen ( 64 )
string Caption ;
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
