Referring to the above figure, the Board Management Controller (BMC) in your server monitors system management events and logs their occurrence in the System Event Log (SEL). These include events such as over-temperature and over-voltage conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion. To enable accurate monitoring of temperature, voltage, etc. independent of an event, the BMC also maintains Sensor Data Record for each sensor (SDR), from which sensor information can be retrieved.
