The Object representing the root of a file directory structure shall have the BrowseName FileSystem. An OPC UA Server may have different FileSystem Objects in the AddressSpace. HasComponent is used to reference a FileSystem from aggregating Objects like the Objects Folder or the Object representing a device.
