37. Intel(R) Active System Console (IASC) 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 may fail to detect
status of memory voltage sensors
Problem Intel® Active System Console (IASC) v3.5.1 and v3.5.2 is used to
monitor hardware status on Intel server system.
Intel® Server Board S5520UR start to support low voltage memory DIMM, so
current FRUSDR has contained four memory voltage sensors "BB+1.5v
P1DDR3", "BB+1.5v P2DDR3", "BB+1.35v P1DDR3" and "BB+1.35v P2DDR3",
When system has 1.5v memory or 1.35v memory, only corresponding memory
voltage sensors will be enabled, the other type memory voltage sensors will be
disabled.
IASC cannot judge the status of memory voltage sensors which have been
disabled, and still try to detect those sensors reading. Because sensor
reading is "0", lower than its threshold, so IASC shows those sensors status as
critical warning.
