Appendix B: Integrated BMC Sensor Tables Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP TPS Redundancy sensors will be only present on systems with appropriate hardware to support redundancy (for instance, fan or power supply). This is only applicable when the system does not support redundant fans. When fan redundancy is supported, then the contribution to system state is driven by the fan redundancy sensor.
