5.3.1
Sensor Type Codes
The following tables list the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor
type, name, supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, and a brief
description of the sensor purpose. Refer to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification, Version 1.5, for sensor and event/reading-type table information.
• Sensor Type
The Sensor Type references the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table in
the IPMI specification. It provides the context in which to interpret the sensor, e.g., the
physical entity or characteristic that is represented by this sensor.
1 Event/Reading Type
The Event/Reading Type references values from the Event/Reading Type Code
Ranges and Generic Event/Reading Type Codes tables in the IPMI specification. Note
that digital sensors are a specific type of discrete sensors, which have only two states.
2 Event Offset/Triggers
Event Thresholds are supported event generating thresholds for threshold types of
sensors.
- [u,l][nr,c,nc]
upper nonrecoverable, upper critical, upper noncritical, lower
nonrecoverable, lower critical, lower noncritical
- uc, lc
upper critical, lower critical
Event Triggers are supported event generating offsets for discrete type sensors. The
offsets can be found in the Generic Event/Reading Type Codes or Sensor Type Codes
tables in the IPMI specification, depending on whether the sensor event/reading type is
generic or a sensor specific response.
3 Assertion/De-assertion Enables
Assertions and De-assertion indicators reveals the type of events the sensor can
generate:
- As: Assertions
- De: Deassertion
4 Readable Value / Offsets
- Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-
discrete type sensors.
- Readable Offsets indicates the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable via the
Get Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all Event Triggers are
readable, i.e., Readable Offsets consists of the reading type offsets that do not
generate events.
5 Event Data
This is the data that is included in an event message generated by the associated
sensor. For threshold-based sensors, the following abbreviations are used:
- R: Reading value
