4.4.2 Board Sensors
The Management Controller includes many sensors for voltage or temperature monitoring and various oth-
ers for pass/fail type signal monitoring.
Every sensor is associated with a Sensor Data Record (SDR). Sensor Data Records contain information about
the sensors identification such as sensor type, sensor name, sensor unit. SDRs also contain the configura-
tion of a specific sensor such as thresholds, hysteresis, event generation capabilities, etc. that specify the
sensor's behavior. Some fields of the sensor SDR are configurable through IPMI v1.5 command and are set to
a built-in initial value.
Module sensors that have been implemented are listed in the sensor list in Table 4-7:
4.4.2.1
Sensor List
The sensor name (ID string) has a name prefix which is 'Sxx:' in the lists below. When reading the sensor
name after module insertion this prefix becomes automatically adapted to the role (BMC or PM) and the
physical position (slot number) of the module in a rack. If the module's Management Controller is set up as a
BMC the prefix will be 'BMC:' independent of the slot where it resides. If the module's Management Control-
ler is set up as a SMC the prefix will be 'Sxx:' where xx is the slot number (e.g. 09).
The sensor number is the number which identifies the sensor e.g. when using the IPMI command "Get Sensor
Reading". Please note that 'ipmitool' accepts sensor numbers in decimal (e.g. '10') or hexadecimal (e.g.
'xxh') notation.
Please note that the IPMI tool 'ipmitool' displays for command 'ipmitool sdr list' the contents of the sensor
data record repository (SDRR) of the whole rack if the SDRR is generated. The generation of the SDRR has
always to be done new after adding or subtracting any board to or from the rack.
