Factory Default Event Filters
20 PEF table entries are supported. The following table describes 12 factory-pre-configured
event filters. The remaining 8 entries are software-configurable. Each PEF entry contains 22
bytes of data for a maximum table size of 440 bytes.

Alert Policies
Associated with each PEF entry is an alert policy that determines which IPMI channel the alert
is sent to. There is a maximum of 16 alert policy entries. There are no pre-configured entries in
the alert policy table because the destination types and alerts may vary by user. Each entry in
the alert policy table contains 4 bytes for a maximum table size of 64 bytes.
5.20.5
MIB File
A modular information block (MIB) text file is provided with the BMC firmware to aide an SNMP
browser in decoding the PETs generated by the BMC. The file provides information on PETs
associated with the default PEF filter entries only. Users must extend the MIB file for any user-
configured PEF filters.
Note:
Usage of the MIB file is limited to decoding SNMP messages.

Sensor Support
Table 40 lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor type and
name, what thresholds are supported, assertion and deassertion information, and a brief
description of what the sensor is used for. See the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification, Version 2.0
for sensor and event/reading-type table information.
