System Management:  Sensors and Sensor Data Records
10009109-01 ATCA-9305 User’s Manual
7-49
The IPMC implements a Device Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository that contains SDRs for 
the IPMC, the FRU device, and each sensor. A system management controller may use the 
Get Device SDR command to read the repository and dynamically discover the capabilities 
of the board. Refer to the IPMI specification (listed in 
Tab le 1 - 2) for more information on 
using Sensor Data Records and the Device SDR Repository.
Under certain circumstances, some sensors connected to the IPMC can generate Event Mes-
sages for the system management controller. To enable these messages, the system man-
agement controller must send a Set Event Receiver command to the IPMC, along with the 
address of the Event Receiver. 
Ta bl e 7 - 48  shows the format of an Event Message:
