On Board Device

The Win32_OnBoardDevice class has these properties.

Caption
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Short description of the object.

CreationClassName
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

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

Description
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Description of the object.

DeviceType
Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only

Type of device being represented.

Enabled
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the on-board device is available for use.

HotSwappable
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, a physical package can be hot-swapped (if it is possible to replace the element with a physically different but equivalent one while the containing package has power applied to it). For example, a disk drive package inserted using SCA connectors is removable and can be hot-swapped. All packages that can be hot-swapped are inherently removable and replaceable.

InstallDate
Data type: datetime
Access type: Read-only

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

Manufacturer
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the organization responsible for producing the physical element.

Model
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name by which the physical element is generally known.

Name
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

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

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. 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 is used as the class key in the tag property.

PartNumber
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Part number assigned by the organization responsible for producing or manufacturing the physical element.

PoweredOn
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the physical element is powered on.

Removable
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, a physical package is removable (if it 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 can still be removable if power must be "off" to perform the removal. If 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 nonredundant power supply. Removing these components would affect the function of the overall packaging or is impossible due to the tight integration of the package.

Replaceable
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, a physical package is replaceable (if it is possible to replace, FRU or upgrade, 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. Another example is a power supply package mounted on sliding rails. All removable packages are inherently replaceable.

SerialNumber
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the physical element.

SKU
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Stock-keeping unit number for the physical element.

Status
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

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.

Values include the following:

OK ("OK")

Error ("Error")

Degraded ("Degraded")

Unknown ("Unknown")

Pred Fail ("Pred Fail")

Starting ("Starting")

Stopping ("Stopping")

Service ("Service")

Stressed ("Stressed")

NonRecover ("NonRecover")

No Contact ("No Contact")

Lost Comm ("Lost Comm")

Tag
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Unique identifier of the on-board device connected to the system.

Example: "On Board Device 1"

Version
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Version of the physical element.
