3) <strong>IPMI</strong> details<br />

• Sensors: Sensor Classes (1/2)<br />

Discrete<br />

multiple states possible:<br />

●<br />

up to 15 states<br />

●<br />

each state is reflected by a bit<br />

●<br />

multiple state bits can active at a time<br />

can provide:<br />

●<br />

generic states (Table 42-2) or<br />

●<br />

sensor-specific states (Table 42-3)<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r classes similar to discrete:<br />

●<br />

Digital: term <strong>of</strong>ten used for discrete<br />

sensors with two possible states<br />

●<br />

OEM: discrete sensor where <strong>the</strong><br />

meaning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> states (<strong>of</strong>fsets) are<br />

OEM defined<br />

Threshold<br />

changes event status on analog<br />

reading comparison to threshold<br />

values<br />

provides:<br />

●<br />

analog reading <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sensor and<br />

●<br />

discr. threshold comparison status<br />

bit (generic state, Table 42-2)<br />
