Systems are top-level objects in " "the CIM hierarchy, requiring no scoping or weak relationships " "in order to exist and have context. It should be reasonable to " "uniquely name and manage a System at an enterprise level. For " "example, a ComputerSystem is a kind of System that can be " "uniquely named and independently managed in an enterprise. " "However, these qualities are not true for the power supply (or " "the power supply sub-\'system\') within the computer. \n" "\n" "Although a System can be viewed as a Collection, this view is " "not the correct model. A Collection is simply a \'bag\' that " "\'holds\' its members. A System is a higher-level abstraction, " "built out of its individual components. It is more than the " "sum of its parts. Note that System is a subclass of " "EnabledLogicalElement which allows the entire abstraction to " "be functionally enabled or disabled at a higher level than " "enabling or disabling its component parts." )] class CIM_System : CIM_EnabledLogicalElement { [Key, Description ( "CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the " "subclass used in the creation of an instance.

They provide the scope for numerous " "components. Having unique System keys is required.
