Win32_SystemSlot class

The Win32_SystemSlot WMI class represents physical connection points including ports, motherboard slots and peripherals, and proprietary connection points.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

CreationClassName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (256 (0x100))

Name of the first concrete class that appears in the inheritance chain used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of a class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be identified uniquely. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

CurrentUsage

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Status of system slot use.

Value	Meaning
0 (0x0)	Reserved
1 (0x1)	Other
2 (0x2)	Unknown
3 (0x3)	Available
4 (0x4)	In Use

Maximum height of an adapter card that can be inserted into the slot—in inches. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Date and time the object is installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

LengthAllowed

Data type: real32

Access type: Read-only

Maximum length of an adapter card that can be inserted into the slot—in inches. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

Manufacturer

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (256 (0x100))

Name of the organization that produces the physical element. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

MaxDataWidth

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Maximum bus width of adapter cards that can be inserted into this slot—in bits. This can be one of the following values. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

Value	Meaning
0 (0x0)	Maximum data width (bits): 8
1 (0x1)	Maximum data width (bits): 16
2 (0x2)	Maximum data width (bits): 32
3 (0x3)	Maximum data width (bits): 64
4 (0x4)	Maximum data width (bits): 128

 

Model

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64 (0x40))

Name for the physical element. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Label for the object. When subclassed, this property can be overridden to be a key property. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Number

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Physical slot number that can be used as an index into a system slot table, whether or not that slot is physically occupied. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

OtherIdentifyingInfo

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Additional data (that is, more than the asset tag information), that can 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 it is unique or can be used as an element key, this property is NULL, and the bar code data is used as the class key in the Tag property. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

PartNumber

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (256 (0x100))

Part number that the producer or manufacturer assigns to the physical element. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

PMESignal

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the PCI bus Power Management Enabled (PME) signal is supported by this slot.

PoweredOn

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the physical element is powered on. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

PurposeDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Free-form string that describes how this slot is physically unique and may hold special types of hardware. This property only has meaning when the corresponding property SpecialPurpose is TRUE. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

SerialNumber

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64 (0x40))

Manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the physical element. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Shared

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, two or more slots share a location on the baseboard, such as a PCI/EISA shared slot.

SKU

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64 (0x40))

Stockkeeping unit number for the physical element. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

SlotDesignation

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

SMBIOS string that identifies the system slot designation of the slot on the motherboard.

Example: "PCI-1"

SpecialPurpose

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, this slot is physically unique and may hold special types of hardware, such as a graphics processor slot. If TRUE, then PurposeDescription should specify the nature of the uniqueness or purpose of the slot. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

Status

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (10 (0xA))

Current status of the object. Various operational and nonoperational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Nonoperational statuses include: "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 online, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

The values are:

"OK"

"Error"

"Degraded"

"Unknown"

"Pred Fail"

"Starting"

"Stopping"

"Service"

"Stressed"

"NonRecover"

"No Contact"

"Lost Comm"

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the slot supports hot-plugging of adapter cards. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

Tag

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (256 (0x100))

System slot represented by an instance of this class. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Example: "System Slot 1"

ThermalRating

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Maximum thermal dissipation of the slot in milliwatts. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

VccMixedVoltageSupport

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Array of enumerated integers indicating the Vcc voltage supported by this slot. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

Value	Meaning
0 (0x0)	Unknown
1 (0x1)	Other
2 (0x2)	3.3V
3 (0x3)	5V

 

Version

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64 (0x40))

Version of the physical element. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

VppMixedVoltageSupport

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Array of enumerated integers indicating the Vpp voltage supported by this slot. This property is inherited from CIM_Slot.

Value	Meaning
0 (0x0)	Unknown
1 (0x1)	Other
2 (0x2)	3.3V
3 (0x3)	5V
4 (0x4)	12V
