DescriptionstringSystemBIOS associates a UnitaryComputerSystem ’ s BIOS with the System itself. CIM_SystemBIOS
Associationbooleantrue CIM_SystemBIOS
Aggregationbooleantrue CIM_SystemBIOS
DescriptionstringCIM_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. 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. CIM_SystemComponent

DescriptionstringCIM_Component is a generic association used to establish ’ part of ’ relationships between Managed Elements. For example, it could be used to define the components or parts of a System. CIM_Component
