Platform event management
Events can trigger alerts and other actions by the BMC. The server is
configured with the following set of standard events:
• Temperature sensor out of range
• Voltage sensor out of range
• Fan failure
• Chassis intrusion
• Power supply fault
• BIOS uncorrectable ECC error
• BIOS POST error
• Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure
• Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the
front panel switch
• Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle
• System restart (reboot)
Alerts can take either of these forms:
• Platform event pages
The BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging
string. To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an
external modem to the emergency management port (COM2).
• BMC LAN alerts
The BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN.
You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the System Setup
Utility (refer to page 168).
