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 Triggers as described in Table 39 
Reading that triggered event 
Threshold value that triggered event 
Table 39: Thermal Margin Sensors Event Triggers – Description 
Upper non-critical 
going high 
The thermal margin has gone over its upper non-critical threshold. 
Upper critical 
going high 
The thermal margin has gone over its upper critical threshold.

Not a logged SEL event. Sensor is used for thermal management of the processor. 
1.  Check for clear and unobstructed airflow into and out of the chassis. 
2.  Ensure the SDR is programmed and correct chassis has been selected. 
3.  Ensure there are no fan failures.
