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.
