Description (
"CIM_SystemComponent is a specialization of the CIM_Component "
"association that establishes \'part of\' relationships between "
"a System and any ManagedSystemElements of which it is "
"composed. \n"
"Use this association with caution when using it instead of a "
"subclass such as SystemDevice or a peer association such as "
"HostedService. This class is very broadly defined, which can "
"lead to erroneous use. For example, Access Points that are "
"dependent on (and hosted on) a System are NOT Components of "
"the System. The System is not made up of any AccessPoint "
"\'parts\', which is why a Dependency association, "
"HostedAccessPoint, was defined. Similarly, a PhysicalPackage "
"is not a \'part\' of a System, because the physical element "
"exists independently of any internal components, software, and "
"so on. In fact, again, a Dependency relationship is true where "
"a ComputerSystem is Dependent on its packaging, as described "
"by the ComputerSystemPackage association." )]
