CIM_CardOnCard class

The CIM_CardOnCard association describes relationships about cards that can be plugged into motherboards/baseboards, daughtercards of an adapter, or cards that support special card-like modules.

Important

The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.

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

Syntax

[Abstract, UUID("{FAF76B77-798C-11D2-AAD1-006008C78BC7}"), AMENDMENT]
class CIM_CardOnCard : CIM_Container

  CIM_Card REF PartComponent;
  CIM_Card REF GroupComponent;
  string       MountOrSlotDescription;
};

Members

The CIM_CardOnCard class has these types of members:

Properties

The CIM_CardOnCard class has these properties.

GroupComponent

Data type: CIM_Card

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("GroupComponent"), Max (1)

A CIM_Card that describes the card that hosts another card.

LocationWithinContainer

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Free-form string that represents the positioning of the physical element within the physical package. Information relative to stationary elements in the container (for example, "second drive bay from the top"), angles, altitudes, and other data can be recorded in this property. This string could supplement or be used in place of instantiating the CIM_Location object.

This property is inherited from CIM_Container.

MountOrSlotDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Describes and identifies how the card is mounted on or plugged into the "other" card. Slot information can be included in this field and may be sufficient for certain management purposes, which avoids creating instantiations of connector/slot objects just to model the relationship of cards to hosting boards or other adapters. On the other hand, if slot and connector information is available, this field can be used to provide detailed mounting or slot insertion data.

PartComponent

Data type: CIM_Card

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("PartComponent")

A CIM_Card that describes the card that is plugged into or otherwise mounted on another card.

Remarks

The CIM_CardOnCard class is derived from CIM_Container.

WMI does not implement this class.

This documentation is derived from the CIM class descriptions published by the DMTF. Microsoft may have made changes to correct minor errors, conform to Microsoft SDK documentation standards, or provide more information.
