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.

ƒSensor 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.

ƒEvent / 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.

ƒEvent 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.

ƒAssertion / De-assertion Enables

Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events the sensor generates:

-As: Assertions

-De: De-assertion

ƒReadable 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.

ƒEvent 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
