System Event Log Messages for IPMI Systems

The tables in this chapter list the system event log (SEL) messages, their severity, and cause.

NOTE: For corrective actions, see the appropriate documentation.

Temperature Sensor Events

The temperature sensor event messages help protect critical components by alerting the systems management console when the temperature rises inside the chassis. These event messages use additional variables, such as sensor location, chassis location, previous state, and temperature sensor value or state.

Event Message

Severity

Cause

 

 

 

<Sensor Name/Location>

Critical

Temperature of the backplane board,

temperature sensor detected a

 

system board, or the carrier in the specified

that this sensor is monitoring.

 

 

For example, "PROC Temp" or

 

 

"Planar Temp." Reading is

 

 

specified in degree Celsius. For

 

 

example 100 C.

 

 

<Sensor Name/Location>

Warning

Temperature of the backplane board,

temperature sensor detected a

 

system board, or the carrier in the specified

warning <Reading>.

 

system <Sensor Name/Location> exceeded

 

 

the non-critical threshold.

 

 

 

<Sensor Name/Location>

Warning

Temperature of the backplane board,

temperature sensor returned to

 

system board, or the carrier in the specified

warning state <Reading>.

 

system <Sensor Name/Location> returned

 

 

from critical state to non-critical state.

 

 

 

<Sensor Name/Location> temperature

Information

Temperature of the backplane board,

sensor returned to normal state <Reading>.

 

system board, or the carrier in the specified

 

 

system <Sensor Name/Location> returned

 

 

to normal operating range.

 

 

 

The <Sensor Name/ Location>

Warning

Temperature of the backplane, system

temperature is less than the lower warning

 

board, system inlet, or the carrier in the

threshold.

 

specified system <Sensor Name/Location>

 

 

entered into non-critical state.
