Table 1 – SEL Record Format lists the format of the SEL. For more information about SEL format,
refer to the IPMI Specification.
Byte Field Description
1
2
Record ID ID used for SEL Record access. The Record ID values 0000h and FFFFh
have special meaning in the Event Access commands and must not be
used as Record ID values for stored SEL Event Records.
3 Record Type [7:0] - Record Type
02h = system event record
C0h-DFh = OEM timestamped, bytes 8–16 OEM defined
E0h-FFh = OEM non-timestamped, bytes 4–16 OEM defined
4
5
6
7
Timestamp Time when an event was logged. LS byte first.
8
9
Generator ID RqSA & LUN, if event was generated from IPMB. Software ID, if event
was generated from a system software.
Byte 1
[7:1] - 7-bit I
2
C. Slave Address, or 7–bit system software ID [0] 0b
= ID is IPMB Slave Address
1b = system software ID Byte 2
[7:4] - Channel number. Channel over which an event message was
received. 0h, if the event message was received through the system
interface, primary IPMB, or internally generated by the BMC. (New
for IPMI v1.5. These bits were reserved in IPMI v1.0)
[3:2] - reserved. Write as 00b.
[1:0] - IPMB device LUN if byte 1 holds Slave Address. 00b otherwise.
10 EvM Rev Event Message format version (=04h for events in this specification,
03h for IPMI
v1.0 Event Messages.)
Note: the BMC must accept Platform Event request messages that
are in IPMI v1.0 format (EvMRev=03h) and log them as IPMI v1.5 |
v2.0 Records by setting the EvMRev field to 04h and setting the
Channel Number in the Generator ID field appropriately for the
channel that the event was received from.
11 Sensor Type Sensor Type Code for sensor that generated the event
12 Sensor # Number of sensor that generated the event
