Using the MegaRAC Hardware Health Function

Application Notes for AMI MegaRAC
1)
Processors are available with different voltage
requirements. Therefore, Warning and Critical
limits (Mili Volt) must be adjusted for the
processor installed.
For example, if a processor requires X volts the
following might be used:
Warning low limit = (X - X*0.05)*1000
Warning high limit = (X + X*0.05)*1000
Critical low limit = (X - X*0.1)*1000
Critical high limit = (X + X*0.1)*1000
2)
New versions of the MegaRAC firmware include
the following features that increase the flexibility
of SDK.
The following rules apply to both Warning and
Critical limits.
a)
If the pair of limits is zero, they are not
used to generate events. For example, IF
(Warning Low Limit == 0) AND
(Warning High Limit == 0), no warning
events will be generated for the
associated sensor. This makes it possible
to skip setting Warning or Critical limits.
The user may not want both kinds of
limits.
