Appendix B: BMC Sensor Tables

This appendix lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding 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 1.5, 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, e.g., 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
a specific type of discrete sensors, which have only two states.
Event Offset/Triggers
Event Thresholds are 'supported event generating thresholds' for threshold types of sensors.
[u,l][nr,c,nc]: upper non-recoverable, upper critical, upper non-critical, lower non-recoverable,
o
lower critical, lower non-critical
uc, lc: upper critical, lower critical
o
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 can generate:
As: Assertions
o
De: De-assertion
o
Readable Value / Offsets
Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-discrete type
o
sensors.
Readable Offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable via the Get
o
Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all event triggers are readable, i.e.,
Readable Offsets consists of the reading type offsets that do not generate events.
Event Data
This is the data that is included in an event message generated by the associated sensor. For
threshold-based sensors, the following abbreviations are used:
R: Reading value
o
T: Threshold value
o
