B-1 Sensor Reading Variations

This motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip

that performs system health monitoring continuously. When the BMC detects the

settings of a components in the system, it will display the status and the readings of

this component. For instance, the Power9 Sforza processor can support up to 24

cores. However, not all 24 cores are enabled at the same time nor are all 24 cores

programmed to function in the same way at all time, so the BMC readings for these

cores will differ, depending on the factors such as operation conditions, processor

production lots, and the manufacture settings etc. Sensor reading variations will oc-

cur depending on the internal state of a component, and the operating environment

of this component at the time of BMC health monitoring. Please do not be overly

concerned when sensor readings show variations as displayed in the screen below.
