| Description | string | An array of strings that identify the components that are compatible and can be inserted in a bay. This allows vendors to provide clues to the system administrators by providing sufficient information to request the appropriate hardware that can populate the bay. In order to ensure uniqueness each value defined by the vendor for use in the VendorCompatibilityStrings property shall be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm:
:
Where and are separated by a colon ':', and where shall include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the value, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the _ structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness shall not contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID shall appear between and . is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. |
