Power Supply Dynamic Redundancy Sensor
The BMC supports redundant power subsystems and implements a Power Unit Redundancy
sensor per platform. A Power Unit Redundancy sensor is of sensor type Power Unit (09h) and
reading type Availability Status (0Bh). This sensor generates events when a power subsystem
transitions between redundant and non-redundant states, as determined by the number and
health of the power subsystem’s component power supplies. The BMC implements Dynamic
Power Supply Redundancy status based upon current system load requirements as well as
total Power Supply capacity. This status is independent of the Cold Redundancy status. This
prevents the BMC from reporting Fully Redundant Power supplies when the load required by
the system exceeds half the power capability of all power supplies installed and operational.
Dynamic Redundancy detects this condition and generates the appropriate SEL event to notify
the user of the condition. Power supplies of different power ratings may be swapped in and
out to adjust the power capacity and the BMC will adjust the Redundancy status accordingly.
The definition of redundancy is power subsystem dependent and sometimes even
configuration dependent. See the appropriate Platform Specific Information for power unit
redundancy support.
This sensor is configured as manual-rearm sensor in order to avoid the possibility of
extraneous SEL events that could occur under certain system configuration and workload
conditions. The sensor shall rearm for the following conditions:
PSU hot-add
System reset
AC power cycle
DC power cycle
System AC power is applied but on standby – Power unit redundancy is based on OEM SDR
power unit record and number of PSU present.
System is (DC) powered on – The BMC calculates Dynamic Power Supply Redundancy status
based upon current system load requirements as well as total Power Supply capacity. The
BMC allows redundancy to be configured on a per power-unit-redundancy sensor basis by
means of the OEM SDR records.

Component Fault LED Control
Several sets of component fault LEDs are supported on the server board. See the figures for
Intel® Light Guided Diagnostics. Some LEDs are owned by the BMC and some by the BIOS.
The BMC owns control of the following FRU/fault LEDs:
Fan fault LEDs
– A fan fault LED is associated with each fan. The BMC lights a fan fault
LED if the associated fan tach sensor has a lower critical threshold event status
