5.3Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information

Board information, such as serial number, date of manufacture, OEM name, part number, etc., are retrievable from the FRU. It complies with the IPMI FRU 1.0 Specification. The information in the FRU can be customized to add other product information, such as asset tag, other part numbers, etc.

5.4Sensors

The sensors that the cPB4612 supports with the IPMI System Monitor can be retrieved in the Sensor Data Records (SDR’s) via normal IPMI commands. They include:

System Ambient Temperature

+12V

CPU Temperature

+1.5V

VTT DDR

+1.8V

CPU Core Voltage

ONCTL#

+3.3V

SLOT

+5V

Front Latch

These sensors (with the exception of ONCTL and SLOT), when enabled by the BMC, will generate sensor events on the IPMB. These events will normally be logged by the BMC and time-date stamped. On temperature and voltage sensors, if sensor readings cross any of the non-critical, critical, or non- recoverable thresholds, the IPMI System Monitor will generate IPMB event data to inform the BMC. The IPMI System Monitor allows the BMC, via IPMI commands, to override its sensor thresholds

5.5Firmware Updates

Firmware updates are possible through either the serial or IPMB interface. A special utility will be provided should a firmware update be necessary.
