What is entPhysicalClass?

Reports the general hardware category of this physical entity, such as chassis, module, port, powerSupply, or fan, using the standard IANAPhysicalClass enumeration. An admin uses this to filter the entity table down to just the type of component they care about, like all fan trays or all power supplies.
