4.7.1
Servicing Events
Events can be received while the SEL is being cleared. The BMC implements an event
message queue to avoid the loss of messages. Up to three messages can be queued before
messages are overwritten.
message queue to avoid the loss of messages. Up to three messages can be queued before
messages are overwritten.
The BMC recognizes duplicate event messages by comparing sequence numbers and the
message source. For details, see the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification
Second Generation v2.0. Duplicate event messages are discarded (filtered) by the BMC after
they are read from the event message queue. The queue can contain duplicate messages.

SEL Entry Deletion
The BMC does not support individual SEL entry deletion. The SEL may only be cleared as
a whole.

4.7.3
SEL Erasure
SEL erasure is a background process. After initiating erasure with the Clear SEL command,
additional Clear SEL commands must be executed to get the erasure status and determine
when the SEL erasure is completed. This may take several seconds. SEL events that arrive
during the erasure process are queued until the erasure is complete and then committed to
the SEL.

SEL Extension Capabilities
The BMC provides an OEM extension to all SEL entries. Each entry includes an additional 8
bytes for storing extra event data that will not fit into the original 3 data bytes provided by
standard IPMI SEL entries. The first extension byte is always valid for all SEL entries and
specifies the severity of the SEL event as well as the number of valid extension bytes following
the first one. That leaves up to 7 SEL extension data bytes that can be defined for each SEL
event entry.

All standard IPMI SEL commands work the same as if there were no SEL extensions.
In order to store and access the extended SEL information, 5 OEM commands are implemented
that closely follow the standard IPMI SEL commands but provide support for the SEL Extension
data. These OEM commands are specified in the Intel

4.8 Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository
The BMC implements the sensor data record (SDR) repository as specified in the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. The SDR is accessible through the
BMC’s in-band and out-of-band interfaces regardless of the system power state The BMC
allocates 65,519 bytes of non-volatile storage space for the SDR.
