4.4.3 Power Supply Current Out % Sensors
PMBus*-compliant power supplies may monitor the current output of the main 12v voltage rail and report the current usage as a
percentage of the maximum power output for that rail.

58h = Power Supply 1 Current Out %
59h = Power Supply 2 Current Out %
Event Direction and
Event Type
[7] Event direction
0b = Assertion Event
1b = Deassertion Event
[6:0] Event Type = 01h (Threshold)
[7:6] – 01b = Trigger reading in Event Data 2
[5:4] – 01b = Trigger threshold in Event Data 3
[3:0] – Event Trigger Offset as described in Table 25
Reading that triggered event
Threshold value that triggered event
The following table describes the severity of each of the event triggers for both assertion and deassertion.

PMBus* feature to monitor power
supply power consumption.
If you see this event, the system is using too much power on the
output for the PSU rating.
1. Verify the power budget is within the specified range.
2. Check http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/ for the
power budget tool for your system.
