A class derived from System that is a special collection of ManagedSystemElements. This collection is related to the providing of compute capabilities and MAY serve as an aggregation point to associate one or more of the following elements: FileSystem, OperatingSystem, Processor and Memory (Volatile and/or NonVolatile Storage).

Description
'Sets the power state of the computer. The use of this method has been deprecated. Instead, use the SetPowerState method in the associated PowerManagementService class.'
{'Description':'The state requested for the element. This information will be placed into the RequestedState property of the instance if the return code of the RequestStateChange method is 0 ('Completed with No Error'), or 4096 (0x1000) ('Job Started'). Refer to the description of the EnabledState and RequestedState properties for the detailed explanations of the RequestedState values.','ModelCorrespondence':['CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.RequestedState'],'ValueMap':['2', '3', '4', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '..', '32768..65535'],'Values':['Enabled', 'Disabled', 'Shut Down', 'Offline', 'Test', 'Defer', 'Quiesce', 'Reboot', 'Reset', 'DMTF Reserved', 'Vendor Reserved']}
{'Description':'May contain a reference to the ConcreteJob created to track the state transition initiated by the method invocation.'}
TimeoutPeriod
datetime

-
{'Description':'A timeout period that specifies the maximum amount of time that the client expects the transition to the new state to take. The interval format must be used to specify the TimeoutPeriod. A value of 0 or a null parameter indicates that the client has no time requirements for the transition. If this property does not contain 0 or null and the implementation does not support this parameter, a return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' shall be returned.'}
'Enumeration indicating the purpose(s) to which the ComputerSystem is dedicated, if any, and what functionality is provided. For example, one could specify that the System is dedicated to "Print" (value=11) or acts as a "Hub" (value=8). Also, one could indicate that this is a general purpose system by indicating 'Not Dedicated' (value=0) but that it also hosts 'Print' (value=11) or mobile phone 'Mobile User Device' (value=17) services. A clarification is needed with respect to the value 17 ("Mobile User Device"). An example of a dedicated user device is a mobile phone or a barcode scanner in a store that communicates via radio frequency. These systems are quite limited in functionality and programmability, and are not considered 'general purpose' computing platforms. Alternately, an example of a mobile system that is 'general purpose' (i.e., is NOT dedicated) is a hand-held computer. Although limited in its programmability, new software can be downloaded and its functionality expanded by the user. A value of "Management" indicates this instance is dedicated to hosting system management software. A value of "Management Controller" indicates this instance represents specialized hardware dedicated to systems management (i.e., a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or service processor). The management scope of a "Management Controller" is typically a single managed system in which it is contained. A value of "Chassis Manager" indicates this instance represents a system dedicated to management of a blade chassis and its contained devices. This value would be used to represent a Shelf Controller. A "Chassis Manager" is an aggregation point for management and may rely on subordinate management controllers for the management of constituent parts. A value of "Host-based RAID Controller" indicates this instance represents a RAID storage controller contained within a host computer. A value of "Storage Device Enclosure" indicates this instance represents an enclosure that contains storage devices. A "Virtual Tape Library" is the emulation of a tape library by a Virtual Library System. A "Virtual Library System" uses disk storage to emulate tape libraries.A "FC Switch" indicates this instance is dedicated to switching layer 2 fibre channel frames. An "Ethernet Switch" indicates this instance is dedicated to switching layer 2 ethernet frames.'
'An enumerated array describing the power management capabilities of the ComputerSystem. The use of this property has been deprecated. Instead, the Power Capabilites property in an associated PowerManagement Capabilities class should be used.'

'If enabled (value = 4), the ComputerSystem can be reset via hardware (e.g. the power and reset buttons). If disabled (value = 3), hardware reset is not allowed. In addition to Enabled and Disabled, other Values for the property are also defined - "Not Implemented" (5), "Other" (1) and "Unknown" (2).'
'The ComputerSystem object and its derivatives are Top Level Objects of CIM. They provide the scope for numerous components. Having unique System keys is required. The NameFormat property identifies how the ComputerSystem Name is generated. The NameFormat ValueMap qualifier defines the various mechanisms for assigning the name. Note that another name can be assigned and used for the ComputerSystem that better suit a business, using the inherited ElementName property.'
