System Event Log Messages for IPMI Systems
The following tables list the system event log (SEL) messages, their severity, and cause.
NOTE: For corrective actions, see the appropriate documentation.
Temperature Sensor Events
The temperature sensor event messages help protect critical components by alerting the systems
management console when the temperature rises inside the chassis. These event messages use
additional variables, such as sensor location, chassis location, previous state, and temperature
sensor
value or state.
Table 3-1. Temperature Sensor Events
Event Message Severity Cause
< Sensor Name/Location >
temperature sensor detected a
failure <
Reading > where < Sensor
Name/Location
> is the entity
that this sensor is monitoring.
For example, "PROC Temp" or
"Planar Temp."
Reading is specified in degree
Celsius. For example 100 C.
Critical Temperature of the backplane board, system
board, or the carrier in the specified system
<Sensor Name/Location> exceeded the critical
threshold.
<Sensor Name/Location >
temperature sensor detected
a warning <
Reading >.
Warning Temperature of the backplane board, system
board, or the carrier in the specified system
<Sensor Name/Location> exceeded the
non-critical threshold.
<
Sensor Name/Location >
temperature sensor returned
to warning state <
Reading >.
Warning Temperature of the backplane board, system
board, or the carrier in the specified system
<Sensor Name/Location> returned from critical
state to non-critical state.
<
Sensor Name/Location >
temperature sensor returned
to normal state <
Reading >.
Information Temperature of the backplane board, system
board, or the carrier in the specified system
<Sensor Name/Location> returned to normal
operating range.
