Appendix B: Integrated BMC Sensor Tables

Appendix B: Integrated BMC Sensor Tables
This appendix lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor type,
name, supported thresholds, and a brief description of the sensor purpose. See the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0, for sensor and event/reading-type
table information.
Sensor Type
The Sensor Type references the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table in the IPMI
Specification. It provides the context in which to interpret the sensor, such as the physical entity
or characteristic that is represented by this sensor.
Event/Reading Type
The Event/Reading Type references values from the Event/Reading Type Code Ranges and
Generic Event/Reading Type Codes tables in the IPMI Specification. Note that digital sensors
are specific type of discrete sensors, which have only two states.
Event Offset Triggers
This column defines what event offsets the sensor generates.
For Threshold (analog reading) type sensors, the Integrated BMC can generate events for the
following thresholds:
Upper Critical
Upper Non-critical
Lower Non-critical
Lower Critical
The abbreviation [U, L] is used to indicate that both Upper and Lower thresholds are supported.
A few sensors support only a subset of the standard four threshold triggers. Note that even if a
sensor does support all thresholds, the SDRs may not contain values for some thresholds.
For Digital and Discrete type sensor event triggers, the supported event generating offsets are
listed. The offsets can be found in the Generic Event/Reading Type Codes or Sensor Type
Codes tables in the IPMI Specification, depending on whether the sensor event/reading type is
a generic or sensor-specific response.
All sensors generate both assertions and deassertions of the defined event triggers. The
assertions and deassertions may or may not generate events into the System Event Log (SEL),
depending on the sensor SDR settings.
