Appendix B – Integrated BMC Sensor Tables
This appendix provides BMC core sensor information common to all Penguin server boards within this
generation of product. Specific server boards and/or server platforms may only implement a sub-set of
sensors and/or may include additional sensors. The actual sensor name associated with a sensor number
may vary between server boards or systems.

Sensor Type
The Sensor Type values are the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table in the IPMI
specification. The Sensor Type provides the context in which to interpret the sensor, such as the
physical entity or characteristic that is represented by this sensor.

Event/Reading Type
The Event/Reading Type values are from the Event/Reading Type Code Ranges and Generic
Event/Reading Type Codes tables in the IPMI specification. Digital sensors are a specific type of
discrete sensor, which have only two states.

Event Offset/Triggers
Event Thresholds are event-generating thresholds for threshold types of sensors.
-
[u,l][nr,c,nc]: upper non-recoverable, upper critical, upper non-critical, lower non-recoverable,
lower critical, lower non-critical
-
uc, lc: upper critical, lower critical
Event Triggers are supported event-generating offsets for discrete type sensors. 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 generic or a sensor-specific response.

Assertion/De-assertion Enables
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events the sensor generates:
-
As: Assertions
-
De: De-assertion

Readable Value/Offsets
-
Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-discrete type
sensors.
-
Readable Offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable with the Get Sensor
Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all event triggers are readable; Readable Offsets
consist of the reading type offsets that do not generate events.

Event Data
Event data is the data that is included in an event message generated by the sensor. For threshold-
based sensors, the following abbreviations are used:
-
R: Reading value
-
T: Threshold value
