| Name | Data Type | Qualifiers |
| Name | Data Type | Value | Scope | Flavors |
| Caption | string |
| Description | string | The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MaxLen | uint32 | 64 | None | None |
| Description | string |
| Description | string | The Description property provides a textual description of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ElementName | string |
| Description | string | The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a index property for a search of query. (Note: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.) | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Override | string | ElementName | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Required | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| InstanceID | string |
| Description | string | 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 <OrgID> and <LocalID> 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'. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| Override | string | InstanceID | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| MethodsSupported | uint32 |
| Description | string | This property advertises the methods that are supported by the service | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .., 65536..4294967295 | None | None |
| Values | string | SetBIOSAttribute, RestoreBIOSDefaults, SetBIOSAttributeEmbeddedInstance, ReadRawBIOSData, WriteRawBIOSData, SetBIOSAttributes, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| SupportedPasswordAlgorithms | string |
| Description | string | The transformation algorithm, if any, used to protect passwords before use in the protocol. For instance, Kerberos doesn't store passwords as the shared. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_SharedSecret.Algorithm | None | None |
| SupportedPasswordEncodings | uint32 |
| Description | string | This property specifies encoding the BIOS supports for denoting password parameter strings. Encoding defines the format that a password string is being passed into the BIOS or set with. "kbd" denotes a string in hexadecimal format containing keyboard scan code input. An example of a password structured in this format would be "321539191E1F1F11181320", which is the representation of "my password" in US English keyboard scan codes. "ascii" denotes clear text that shall comply with the ASCII character set. Character encodings from " " (decimal 32) to "~" (decimal 126) are supported. An example would be "my password". "pin" denotes that only numeric input in ASCII text is allowed for the password instance. An example would be "1234". | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_BIOSPassword.SupportedEncodings | None | None |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, .., 65536..4294967295 | None | None |
| Values | string | ascii, kbd, pin, UTF16, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
