The IPMC implements many standard IPMI commands. For example, software can use the
watchdog timer commands to monitor the system’s health. Normally, the software resets
the watchdog timer periodically to prevent it from expiring. The IPMI specification allows
for different actions such as reset, power off, and power cycle, to occur if the timer expires.
The watchdog’s ‘timer use’ fields can keep track of which software (Operating System, Sys-
tem Management, etc.) started the timer. Also, the time-out action and ‘timer use’ infor-
mation can be logged automatically to the System Event Log (SEL) when the time-out
occurs. Please refer to the IPMI specification (listed in
Tab l e 1- 3) for details about each com-
mand’s request and response data. The IPMC also implements ATCA commands, see the
ATCA Base Specification (PICMG 3.0).
