address. 1=ID is system software ID;

3:1 0 Format revision, Revision of the data format for

 

0=ID is IPMB slave address

OEM data bytes 2 and 3, For this revision of the

 

 

specification, set this field to 0. All other revisions are

 

 

reserved for now.

 

 

0 1=ID is system software ID

 

 

As a result, the generator ID byte will start from 0x31 and go

 

 

up to 0x3f, in increments of 2 for events logged by the BIOS.

7:6 and bits 5:4 contain 10. For platforms that do not include

 

5:4 00 = unspecified byte 3
