00 = Unspecified byte 2
10 = OEM code in byte 2
5:4
00 = Unspecified byte 3
10 = OEM code in byte 3 (BIOS
will not use encodings 01 and
11 for errors discussed in this
document).
3:0
Offset from Event Trigger for
discrete event state.
0x21 - Uncorrectable ECC Error
0x25 - Correctable ECC Error Threshold Reached
Event Data 2
7:0 OEM code 2 or unspecified
0xFF
Event Data 3
7:0 OEM code 3 or unspecified
For format rev 1, if this byte is specified.
7:6 Matches the number of type 16 entry in the SMBIOS
table. This shall always be 0 to indicate that a single on-
board memory controller is present.
5:0 Index into SMBIOS Type17 record for the failed
FBDIMM.

0x20 0xFF 0xFF
Uncorrectable memory error, failed FBDIMM is the fifth
FBDIMM on the second memory card.

Field
IPMI Definition
BIOS Implementation
Generator ID
7:1 System software ID or IPMB
slave address.
1 = ID is system software ID
0 = ID is IPMB slave address
7:4 0x3 for system BIOS.
3:1
0 = Format revision, Revision of the data format for OEM
data bytes 2 and 3. For this revision of the specification,
set this field to 0. All other revisions are reserved.
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.

0x13 for critical interrupt.
Sensor
Number
Number of the sensor that
generated this event
The IPMI specification requires a unique value for each type
of event. This field has no other significance. It should not be
displayed to the end user if the event is logged by the BIOS.
For PERRs, the sensor number is 0xEA, for SERRs, the
