cooling devices)

32d memory device (This Entity ID should be used for replaceable memory devices, e.g.
DIMM/SIMM. It is recommended that Entity IDs not be used for individual non-
replaceable
memory devices. Rather, monitoring and error reporting should be associated with the
FRU [e.g.
memory card] holding the memory.)

Group - this is a logical entity for use with Entity Association records. It is provided to
allow a
sensor data record to point to an Entity-association record when there is no appropriate
pre-defined
logical entity for the entity grouping. This Entity should not be used as a physical entity.

A.9 Specific Trap Field Clarification
The PET Specification v1.0 [PET_1.0] includes a table that describes the organization of the
"Specific Trap" field (Table 2 on page 3 of that specification). Within that table, the value range
associated with generic event types is incorrect and a later version of the PET Specification
should be updated to read (the text that is bold is the addition/change required):
15:8 Event Type
Code indicating what type of transition/state change triggered the trap. (Corresponds to the IPMI
"Event Type" field). The code is split into the following ranges:
00h = unspecified
01-0Ch = generic -- can be used with any type of sensor
