4. Ensure the air used to cool the system is within the thermal specifications for the system (typically below 35°C).
5.2.3 Processor Thermal Control Sensors
The BMC FW monitors the percentage of time that a processor has been operationally constrained over a given time window
(nominally six seconds) due to internal thermal management algorithms engaging to reduce the temperature of the device. This
monitoring is instantiated as one IPMI analog/threshold sensor per processor package.
If this is not addressed, the processor will overheat and shut down the system to protect itself from damage.
