14. Microsoft Windows* Records
With Microsoft Windows Server 2003* R2 and later versions, an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) driver was added. This added
the capability of logging some OS events to the SEL. The driver can write multiple records to the SEL for the following events:
 Boot-up
 Shutdown
 Bug Check / Blue Screen
14.1 Boot-up Event Records
When the system boots into the Microsoft Windows* OS, there can be two events logged. The first is a boot-up record and the second is an
OEM event. These are informational only records.
