Platform event management
Events can trigger alerts and other actions by the BMC. The server is configured with the following set of standard events:
•Temperature sensor out of range
•Voltage sensor out of range
•Fan failure
•Chassis intrusion
•Power supply fault
•BIOS uncorrectable ECC error
•BIOS POST error
•Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure
•Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the front panel switch
•Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle
•System restart (reboot)
Alerts can take either of these forms:
•Platform event pages
The BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging string. To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an external modem to the emergency management port (COM2).
•BMC LAN alerts
The BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN.
You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the System Setup Utility (refer to page 166).
