2. Only supported on configurations with a CPU.
3. Only supported on configurations with a CPU and PCIe switch.
The IPMC implements a Device Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository that contains SDRs for
the IPMC, the FRU device, and each sensor. A system management controller may use the
Get Device SDR command to read the repository and dynamically discover the capabilities
of the board. Please refer to the IPMI specification (listed in
Tab le 1 - 3) for more information
on using Sensor Data Records and the Device SDR Repository.
Under certain circumstances, some sensors connected to the IPMC can generate Event
Messages for the system management controller. To enable these messages, the system
management controller must send a Set Event Receiver command to the IPMC, along with
the address of the Event Receiver.
Tab le 9 - 40 shows the format of an Event Message.
