6.2.2 System Event Log (SEL)
The BMC implements the system event log as specified in the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface Specification, Version 2.0. The SEL is accessible regardless of the system power state
through the BMC's in-band and out-of-band interfaces.
The BMC allocates 95231 bytes (approx 93 KB) of non-volatile storage space to store system
events. The SEL timestamps may not be in order. Up to 3,639 SEL records can be stored at a
time. Any command that results in an overflow of the SEL beyond the allocated space is
rejected with an “Out of Space” IPMI completion code (C4h).
6.2.2.1 Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository
The BMC implements the sensor data record (SDR) repository as specified in the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. The SDR is accessible through the
BMC’s in-band and out-of-band interfaces regardless of the system power state The BMC
allocates 65,519 bytes of non-volatile storage space for the SDR.
6.2.3 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Inventory Device
The BMC implements the interface for logical FRU inventory devices as specified in the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. This functionality provides
commands used for accessing and managing the FRU inventory information. These commands
can be delivered through all interfaces.
The BMC provides FRU device command access to its own FRU device and to the FRU
devices throughout the server. The FRU device ID mapping is defined in the Platform Specific
Information. The BMC controls the mapping of the FRU device ID to the physical device.
6.2.4 BMC Beep Codes
The BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes are
sounded each time the problem is discovered (for example, on each power-up attempt), but are
not sounded continuously. Common supported codes are listed in below table.
Additional platform-specific beep codes can be found in the appropriate Platform Specific
Information. Each digit in the code is represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal
to the digit.
