Otherwise set to 0.
13.2.1 Node Manager Health Event – Next Steps
Misconfigured policy can happen if the max/min power consumption of the platform exceeds the values in policy due to hardware
reconfiguration.
First occurrence of an unacknowledged event will be retransmitted no faster than every 300 milliseconds.
Real-time clock synchronization failure alert is sent when NM is enabled and capable of limiting power, but within 10 minutes the firmware
cannot obtain valid calendar time from the host side, so NM cannot handle suspend periods.
Next steps depend on the policy that was set. See the Node Manager Specification for more details.
