Appendix B: BMC Sensor Tables

Appendix B: BMC Sensor Tables
This appendix lists the sensor identification numbers and information about the sensor type,
name, supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, 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 is the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table in the IPMI
specification. The Sensor Type 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 values are from the Event/Reading Type Code Ranges and
Generic Event/Reading Type Codes tables in the IPMI specification. Digital sensors are
a specific type of discrete sensor, which have only two states.
Event Offset/Triggers
Event Thresholds are event-generating thresholds for threshold types of sensors.
- [u,l][nr,c,nc]: upper nonrecoverable, upper critical, upper noncritical, lower
nonrecoverable, lower critical, lower noncritical
- uc, lc: upper critical, lower critical
Event Triggers are supported event-generating offsets for discrete type sensors. 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
generic or a sensor-specific response.
Assertion / De-assertion Enables
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events the sensor generates:
- As: Assertions
- De: De-assertion
Readable Value / Offsets
Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-
-
discrete type sensors.
- Readable Offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable with the
Get Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all event triggers are
readable; Readable Offsets consist of the reading type offsets that do not generate
events.
Event Data
Event data is the data that is included in an event message generated by the sensor. For
threshold-based sensors, the following abbreviations are used:
- R: Reading value
- T: Threshold value
