CIM_Rack class

The CIM_Rack class represents a rack (a physical frame or enclosure) in which chassis are stored. Typically, a rack represents the enclosure; all functioning components are packaged in the chassis.

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

Properties

The CIM_Rack class has these properties.

AudibleAlarm

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the frame is equipped with an audible alarm.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalFrame.

BreachDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_PhysicalFrame.SecurityBreach")

Free-form string that provides information if the SecurityBreach property indicates that a breach or some other security-related event occurred.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalFrame.

CableManagementStrategy

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Free-form string that contains information on how the various cables are connected and bundled for the frame. With many networking, storage-related, and power cables, cable management can be a complex and challenging endeavor. This string property contains information to aid in assembly and service of the frame.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalFrame.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64), DisplayName ("Caption")

Short textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

CountryDesignation

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Rack.TypeOfRack")

Country or region for which the rack is designed. Country or region code strings are as defined by ISO/IEC 3166. The rack type is specified in the TypeOfRack property.

CreationClassName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: CIM_Key, MaxLen (256)

Name of the class or subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with other key properties of the class, this property allows all instances of the class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Depth

Data type: real32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Units ("inches")

Depth of the physical package, in inches.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Description")

Textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Height

Data type: real32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("Height"), Units ("Us")

Height of the physical package, using the "U" unit of measure. A "U" is a standard unit of measure for the height of a rack, or rack-mountable component, and is equal to 1.75 inches or 4.445 centimeters.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.

HotSwappable

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the package can be hot-swapped. A physical package can be hot-swapped if the element can be replaced by a physically different (but equivalent) one while the containing package is turned on. For example, a fan component may be designed to be hot-swapped. All components that can be hot-swapped are inherently removable and replaceable.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5"), DisplayName ("Install Date")

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

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

LockPresent

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the frame is protected with a lock.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalFrame.

Manufacturer

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (256)

Name of the organization that produced the physical element. For more information, see the Vendor property of CIM_Product.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Model

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

Name by which the physical element is generally known.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Name")

Label by which the object is known. When subclassed, this property can be overridden to be a key property.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

OtherIdentifyingInfo

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

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. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Note

If only bar-code data is available, and is unique and 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.

PartNumber

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (256)

Part number assigned by the organization that produced or manufactured the physical element.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

PoweredOn

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the physical element is powered on.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalElement.

Removable

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, this element is designed to be taken in and out of the physical container in which it is normally found, without impairing the function of the overall packaging. A package is considered removable even if the power must be "off" to perform the removal. If the power can be "on" and the package removed, then the element is removable and can be hot-swapped. For example, an extra battery in a laptop is removable, as is a disk-drive package inserted using SCA connectors; however, the latter can be hot-swapped. A laptop's display is not removable, nor is a non-redundant power supply. Removing these components impacts the function of the overall packaging or is impossible due to the tight integration of the package.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.

Replaceable

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, it is possible to replace the element with a physically different one. For example, some computer systems allow the main processor chip to be upgraded to one of a higher clock rating. In this case, the processor is said to be replaceable. All removable components are inherently replaceable.

This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalPackage.

SecurityBreach

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|Physical Container Global Table|002.12"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_PhysicalFrame.BreachDescription")

Indicates whether a physical breach of the frame was attempted but unsuccessful, or attempted and successful. This property is inherited from CIM_PhysicalFrame.

Unknown (2)

No Breach (3)

Breach Attempted (4)

Breach Successful (5)

Remarks

The CIM_Rack class is derived from CIM_PhysicalFrame.

WMI does not implement this class.
