System Event Log Messages for IPMI Systems
The tables in this chapter list the system event log (SEL) messages, their severity, and cause.
NOTE: For corrective actions, see the appropriate documentation.
Temperature Sensor Events
The temperature sensor event messages help protect critical components by alerting the systems management console when the
temperature rises inside the chassis. These event messages use additional variables, such as sensor location, chassis location,
previous state, and temperature sensor value or state.
Table 5. Temperature Sensor Events
Event Message Severity Cause
<Sensor Name/Location> temperature
sensor detected a failure <Reading>
where <Sensor Name/Location> is the
entity that this sensor is monitoring.
For example, "PROC Temp" or "Planar
Temp." Reading is specified in degree
Celsius. For example 100 C.
Critical Temperature of the backplane board, system board, or
the carrier in the specified system <Sensor Name/
Location> exceeded the critical threshold.
<Sensor Name/Location> temperature
sensor detected a warning <Reading>.
Warning Temperature of the backplane board, system board, or
the carrier in the specified system <Sensor Name/
Location> exceeded the non-critical threshold.
<Sensor Name/Location> temperature
sensor returned to warning state
<Reading>.
Warning Temperature of the backplane board, system board, or
the carrier in the specified system <Sensor Name/
Location> returned from critical state to non-critical
state.
<Sensor Name/Location> temperature sensor
returned to normal state <Reading>.
Information Temperature of the backplane board, system board, or
the carrier in the specified system <Sensor Name/
Location> returned to normal operating range.
The <Sensor Name/ Location> temperature is less
than the lower warning threshold.
Warning Temperature of the backplane, system board, system
inlet, or the carrier in the specified system <Sensor
Name/Location> entered into non-critical state.
The <Sensor Name/ Location> temperature is less
than the lower critical threshold.
Critical Temperature of the backplane, system board, system
inlet, or the carrier in the specified system <Sensor
Name/Location> entered into critical state.
The <Sensor Name/ Location> temperature is greater
than the upper warning threshold.
Warning Temperature of the backplane, system board, system
inlet, or the carrier in the specified system <Sensor
Name/Location> entered into non-critical state.
The <Sensor Name/ Location> temperature is greater
than the upper critical threshold.
Critical Temperature of the backplane, system board, system
inlet, or the carrier in the specified system <Sensor
Name/Location> entered into critical state.
