Appendix B: Sensor Tables
This appendix lists 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. See the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version
2.0, for sensor and event/reading-type table information.
 Sensor Type
The sensor type references the values in the sensor type codes table in the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0. It provides the
context to interpret the sensor.
 Event / Reading Type
The event / reading type references values from the event / reading type code ranges
and the generic event / reading type code tables in the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0. Digital sensors are a specific type of
discrete sensors that only have two states.
 Event Thresholds / Triggers
The following event thresholds are supported for threshold type sensors.
[u,l][nr,c,nc] upper non-recoverable, upper critical, upper non-critical, lower non-
recoverable, lower critical, lower non-critical
uc, lc upper critical, lower critical
Event triggers are supported, event-generating offsets for discrete type sensors. You
can find the offsets in the generic event / reading type code or sensor type code tables
in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0,
depending on whether the sensor event / reading type is generic or a sensor-specific
response.
 Assertion / De-assertion Enables
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events the sensor can generate:
As: Assertions
De: De-assertion
 Readable Value / Offsets
Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-discrete
type sensors.
Readable Offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable via the Get
Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all event triggers are readable
(for example, Readable Offsets consists of the reading type offsets that do not generate
events).
