Field Replaceable Units and Sensor Data Records
Field replaceable units (FRUs) are major modules in the chassis that contain active electronic circuitry. FRUs can store
The BMC uses Sensor Data Records (SDRs) to identify the sensors in the system for monitoring. SDRs provide a list of the sensors, their characteristics, location, type, and
You can use the FRU/SDR Load Utility (page 57) to initialize or update the FRU and SDR information. Intel server boards are shipped from the factory with some sensors disabled, because the actual configuration of the chassis is only determined when the user completes the system configuration.
System Event Log
The BMC manages a system event log (SEL), where it records significant or critical system events. Such events include temperatures and voltages out of range, fan failures, and other
You can view the current contents of the SEL by using the System Setup Utility (page 48).
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)
