Appendix B: Sensor Tables 

 

Table 15 lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor type, name, 
supported thresholds, 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. 

The Sensor Type references the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table in the IPMI 
Specification

. It provides the context in which to interpret the sensor, for example, the physical entity or 

characteristic that is represented by this sensor. 

The Event / Reading Type references values from the Event / Reading Type Code Ranges and Generic 
Event / Reading Type Codes

 tables in the IPMI Specification. Note that digital sensors are specific type of 

discrete sensors, which have only two states. 

This column defines what event offsets the sensor generates. 

For Threshold (analog reading) type sensors, the BMC can generate events for the following thresholds: 

ƒ

 Upper 

Critical 

ƒ

 Upper 

Non-critical 

ƒ

 Lower 

Non-critical 

ƒ

 Lower 

Critical 

The abbreviation [U, L] is used to indicate that both Upper and Lower thresholds are supported. A few 
sensors support only a subset of the standard four threshold triggers. Note that even if a sensor does 
support all thresholds, the SDRs may not contain values for some thresholds. Consult Table 16 for 
information on the thresholds that are defined in the SDRs. 

For Digital and Discrete type sensor event triggers, the supported event generating offsets are listed. 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 a generic or sensor-specific 

response. 

All sensors generate both assertions and deassertions of the defined event triggers. The assertions and 
deassertions may or may not generate events into the System Event Log (SEL), depending on the sensor 
SDR settings. 

This column indicates whether an assertion of an event lights the front panel fault LED. The Integrated 
BMC aggregates all fault sources (including outside sources such as the BIOS) such that the LED will be 
lit as long as any source indicates that a fault state exists. The Integrated BMC extinguishes the fault LED 
when all sources indicate no faults are present.
