CIS-HAM Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Hardware Asset Management

A configuration item (CI) is a record that represents an IT asset or service in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB)1.

A CI tracks the operational and relationship information of the asset or service, such as its current status, location, owner, and dependencies1.

A hardware asset is a physical component of an IT system, such as a laptop, server, or router2.

A hardware asset attribute is a property or characteristic of the hardware asset, such as its model, serial number, or warranty2.

Some hardware asset attributes are also part of the CI, such as IP address, CPU, operating system, and memory1. These attributes reflect the operational state of the hardware asset and are relevant for configuration management purposes1.

However, some hardware asset attributes are not part of the CI, such as cost2. Cost is a financial information of the hardware asset that is tracked by the Asset Management application2. Cost is not relevant for configuration management purposes and is not stored in the CMDB2.

Therefore, the hardware asset attribute that should be tracked that is not part of the CI is C. Cost. References:

The lifecycle management tab provides details about the normalization status, models nearing end of life, and lease end timelines. Expenditure by vendor and pending purchase orders are unrelated to lifecycle tracking and would typically be found in financial reports or procurement dashboards.

According to the Hardware Asset Management documentation, the hardware model normalization process is a process of comparing the model data in the ServiceNow platform with the data from the Content Library, which is a cloud-based service that provides normalized and enriched hardware model data.

The hardware model normalization process helps customers identify and manage their hardware models more effectively, as well as plan for hardware refreshes based on end-of-life (EOL) and end-of-service (EOS) dates1.

The hardware model normalization process assigns a status to each hardware model, such as Fully Normalized, Partially Normalized, Match Not Found, or Not Normalized1.

The status of Fully Normalized means that the hardware model data in the ServiceNow platform matches the data from the Content Library, indicating a complete and accurate model record1.

The status of Partially Normalized means that the hardware model data in the ServiceNow platform partially matches the data from the Content Library, indicating a missing or incorrect model field1.

In order for a hardware model to be fully normalized rather than partially normalized, the hardware model record must have the following fields populated correctly1:

Manufacturer: The name of the company that produces the hardware product.

Name: The name of the hardware product, such as Dell Latitude E7450 or HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10.

Model number: The unique identifier of the hardware product, such as 210-AFZC or 875671-B21.

Therefore, the correct answer is option E, model number, as it is the field that is required in the hardware model record for full normalization.
