Logging format conventions
The SMBIOS logs BIOS implemented comply with the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) Reference
Specification Version: 3.0.0.
The SEL logs BIOS implemented comply with the logging format defined in the IPMI specification. IPMI
requires the use of all but two bytes in each event log entry, called Event Data 2 and Event Data 3. An
event generator can specify that these bytes contain OEM-specified values. The system BIOS uses
these two bytes to record additional information about the error. The below table show details:
ID used for SEL Record access.
Event description area: Record Type.
Time when event was logged. LS byte first.
