OperationalStatus 
public uint16[2] OperationalStatus



  
General Information:
Indicates the current statuses of the 
  element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's 
  values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in 
  more detail. 
"Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but 
  needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and 
  so on. 
"Predictive Failure" indicates that an element is functioning 
  nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. 
"In Service" 
  describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise 
  administered. 
"No Contact" indicates that the monitoring system has 
  knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications 
  with it. 
"Lost Communication" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is 
  known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is 
  currently unreachable. 
"Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the 
  former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt 
  stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be 
  updated. 
"Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. 
  
"Supporting Entity in Error" indicates that this element might be "OK" but 
  that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a 
  network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking 
  problems. 
"Completed" indicates that the element has completed its 
  operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so 
  that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), 
  Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation 
  finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error). 
"Power 
  Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information 
  contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. 
  
"Relocating" indicates the element is being 
  relocated.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on 
  ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to 
  address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration 
  path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier 
  because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the 
  existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly 
  recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and 
  OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus 
  should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status 
  (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the 
  element.

ElementName 
public string ElementName



  
General Information:
A user-friendly name for the object. This 
  property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to 
  its key properties, identity data, and description information. 
Note that 
  the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly 
  name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the 
  same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without 
  inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of 
  LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and 
  ElementName properties. Note that if there is an associated instance of 
  CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may 
  exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined 
  in that class.

Characteristics 
public uint16[32] Characteristics



  
General Information:
An array of integers that specify the 
  features supported by the BIOS. For example, one can specify that PnP 
  capabilities are provided (value=9) or that infrared devices are supported 
  (21). Values specified in the enumeration are taken from both DMI and SMBIOS 
  (the Type 0 structure, the BIOS Characteristics and BIOS Characteristics 
  Extension Bytes attributes.

Product Specific Usage:
‘BIOS 
  Characteristics’, SMBIOS BIOS Information (type 0) 
  structure.
