Dell Command | Monitor Version 9.1 Reference Guide

A string identifying the structured element name for a BIOS attribute using the format <OrgID> : <identifier> in which <OrgID>, does contain a colon (:). The value of <OrgID> is a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the entity defining the <identifier>, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the entity by a recognized global authority. For DMTF defined identifiers, the <OrgID> is set to DMTF and the <identifier> is specified in the BIOS Attribute Registry. <identifier>

An array of strings representing the current value or values of the BIOS Attribute.

Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following preferred algorithm: <OrgID> : <LocalID> Where <LocalID> and <OrgID> 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. If the above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the preferred algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.

This property specifies if the underlying system BIOS or BIOSService will not allow the Attribute to be modified through calls tothe methods CIM_BIOSService.SetBIOSAttribute or CIM_BIOSService.SetBIOSDefaults. This does not mean the Attribute can not be modified through other means. Only that the CIM interfaceis not capable of making a change.

An array of strings containing possible value definitions for the Attribute. The first element SHOULD not be NULL and there SHOULD be no NULL or empty string elements intermixed with populated array element values. A Value of NULL indicates an element's value is unknown.

An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in the CIM_BIOSEnumeration.PossibleValues array. Note that each entry of this array is related to the entry in PossibleValues array that is located at the same index.
