5.1 Sahalee Baseboard Management Controller
The Sahalee BMC contains a 32-bit RISC processor core and associated peripherals used to
monitor the system for critical events. The Sahalee BMC, packaged in a 156-pin BGA, monitors
all power supplies, including those generated by the external power supplies and those regulated
locally on the Server Board.
The Sahalee BMC also monitors SCSI termination voltage, fan tachometers for detecting a fan
failure, and system temperature. Temperature is measured on each of the processors and at
locations on the Server Board away from the fans. When any monitored parameter is outside the
defined thresholds, the Sahalee BMC logs an event in the System Event Log (SEL).
Management controllers and sensors communicate on the I
2
C-based Intelligent Platform
Management Bus. Attached to one of its private I
2
C bus is Hecetas, which is an ADM1026. The
ADM1026 is a versatile Systems Monitor ASIC. Some of its features include:
• Analog measurement channels
• Fan speed measurement channels
• General-Purpose Logic I/O pins
• Remote temperature measurement
• On-chip temperature sensor
• Chassis intrusion detection
The table below details some of the inputs on Hecetas as used in the SDS2.
