Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.4 Intel order number G34153-004 67

Event Logging

OEM code (Undetermined system HW failure)
Assertion and
Deassertion
04h
PEF action
Assertion only
For offset 2, OEM code will be logged in event data byte 2 to indicate the type of failure. Only
one value will be supported at this time, but others may be added in the future. The code for this
particular fault will be 0x00 (PECI access failure) and all other values reserved. Upon detection
of the CPU PECI fault condition, the offset shall assert. It shall deassert upon system power
cycle or system reset. Assertion of offset 02h shall contribute a “fatal” condition to the system
status as reflected in the Front Panel system status LED.
4.4.8.1 Update Related SEL Logging
BMC FW will support a single FW Update Status sensor. This sensor is used to generate SEL
events related to update of embedded firmware on the platform. This includes updates to the
BMC, BIOS, and ME FW.
IPMI Sensor Characteristics
1. Event reading type code: 70h (OEM defined)
2. Sensor type code: 2Bh (Version Change)
3. Rearm type: Auto
This sensor is an event-only sensor that is not readable. Event generation is only enabled for
assertion events. Since this is an event-only sensor it should be defined by a type-3 SDR as
defined in the IPMI 2.0 Specification.
