BIOS-logged BMC system-error log messages

BIOS can log two types of system-event log messages: POST events, which occur
during system start-up, and SMI events, which are generally run time errors
detected by hardware.
The server logs OEM-specific BIOS messages in the BMC system-event log. The
following table describes the four BIOS sensor types logged in the BMC
system-event log. You can obtain third-party software to provide BMC system-event
log translations for detailed byte definitions and repair actions.
