Rules for configuration file contents
•TheFRUmustbeassignedauser‐definedFRUname(“SCM”intheexampleabove).For
readability,itisrecommendedthatyouassignanameassociatedwiththeFRU’sactual
name;however,youcanuseanythingaslongasthenameisuniquewithinthefile.
•ThesensorindexmustbeuniquewithinthesectionfortheFRU.Therefore,multiple
severityassignmentsforthesamesensormustappearinthesameentry.(Seethe
multipleassignmentsforsensor0x16intheexampleabove.)
•Anyhexnumbermustbeprecededby“0x”.
•Blanklinesareignored.
•Apound(#)signindicatesacommentthatcontinuestotheendoftheline.
•Thecomma(,)andcolon(:)charactersarereservedforuseinseparatingfieldsas
