Appendix C: BMC Sensor Tables
This appendix lists the sensor identification numbers and information about the sensor type,
name, supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, and a brief description of
the sensor purpose. See the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version
2.0 for sensor and event/reading-type table information.
• Sensor Type
The Sensor Type references the values in the sensor type codes table in the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0 for sensor and event/reading-
type table information.
• Event/Reading Type
The event/reading type references values from the event/reading type code ranges and
the generic event/reading type code tables in the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0. Digital sensors are a specific type of
discrete sensors that only have two states.
• Event Offset/Triggers
Event Thresholds are event-generating thresholds for threshold type 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. You
can find the offsets in the generic event/reading type code or sensor type code tables in
the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0,
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 Values indicate 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 included in an event message generated by the sensor. For
threshold-based sensors, the following abbreviations are used:
- R: Reading value
- T: Threshold value
