Referring to the above figure, the Board Management Controller
(BMC) in your server monitors system management events and
logs their occurrence in the System Event Log (SEL). These
include events such as over-temperature and over-voltage
conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion. To enable accurate
monitoring of temperature, voltage, etc. independent of an event,
the BMC also maintains Sensor Data Record for each sensor
(SDR), from which sensor information can be retrieved.
