CIM_Slot
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.

PROPERTYSMS_REPORTCIMTYPEDESCRIPTION
CaptionStringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.
ConnectorPinoutStringA free-form string describing the pin configuration and signal usage of a physical connector.
ConnectorTypeUInt16An array of integers defining the type of physical connector. An array is specified to allow the description of 'combinations' of connector information. For example, one array entry could specify RS-232 (value=25), another DB-25 (value=23) and a third entry define the connector as "Male" (value=2).
CreationClassNameStringCreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
DescriptionStringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.
HeightAllowedReal32Maximum height of an adapter card that can be inserted into the slot, in inches.
InstallDateDateTimeThe InstallDate property is datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
LengthAllowedReal32Maximum length of an adapter card that can be inserted into the slot, in inches.
ManufacturerStringThe name of the organization responsible for producing the physical element. This may 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.
MaxDataWidthUInt16Maximum bus width of adapter cards that can be inserted into this slot, in bits.
ModelStringThe name by which the physical element is generally known.
NameStringThe Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
NumberUInt16The Number property indicates the physical slot number, which can be used as an index into a system slot table, whether or not that slot is physically occupied.
OtherIdentifyingInfoStringOtherIdentifyingInfo captures additional data, beyond asset tag information, that 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/able to be used as an element key, this property would be NULL and the bar code data used as the class key, in the tag property.
PartNumberStringThe part number assigned by the organization responsible for producing or manufacturing the physical element.
PoweredOnBooleanBoolean indicating that the physical element is powered on (TRUE), or is currently off (FALSE).
PurposeDescriptionStringA 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.
SerialNumberStringA manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the PhysicalElement.
SKUStringThe stock keeping unit number for this physical element.
SpecialPurposeBooleanBoolean indicating that this slot is physically unique and may hold special types of hardware, e.g. a graphics processor slot. If set to TRUE, then the property, PurposeDescription property (a string), should specify the nature of the uniqueness or purpose of the slot.
StatusStringThe Status property is a string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded" and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is on-line, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
SupportsHotPlugBooleanBoolean indicating whether the slot supports hot-plug of adapter cards.
TagStringAn arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the physicalelement and serves as the element's key. The Tag property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for CIM_PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the hardware/entity, regardless of physical placement in or on cabinets, adapters, etc. For example, a removable component that can be hot swapped, may be taken from its containing (scoping) package and be temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist - and may even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for physicalelement is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy.
ThermalRatingUInt32Maximum thermal dissipation of the slot in Milliwatts.
VccMixedVoltageSupportUInt16An array of enumerated integers indicating the Vcc voltage supported by this slot.
VersionStringA string indicating the version of the physical element.
VppMixedVoltageSupportUInt16An array of enumerated integers indicating the Vpp voltage supported by this slot.
