Re: [Freeipmi-users] Intel SR 1625 Sensors

[Werner Fischer]

Hi Al,

thank you for the beta.

Sensors 55, 56, and 59 are now recognized:

ID | Name             | Type                     | State    | Reading    | 
Units | Event
[...]
47 | SMI Timeout      | OEM Reserved             | N/A      | N/A        | N/A  
 | 'OK'
[...]
55 | P1 VRD Hot       | Temperature              | Nominal  | N/A        | N/A  
 | 'OK'
56 | P2 VRD Hot       | Temperature              | Nominal  | N/A        | N/A  
 | 'OK'
[...]
59 | IOH Therm Trip   | Temperature              | Nominal  | N/A        | N/A  
 | 'OK'

For sensor 47 the state is still "N/A".

For the SMI timeout I assume that the unasserted state is the one which
should be nominal as I have found a notice on a similar Intel
motherboard: There Intel they corrected an issue when SMI Timeout was
asserted, causing a critical event in their event log - see page 19 in
this pdf, point "5) Event Log may report SMI Timeout Assertion after
Server Power button is pressed"
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/mfsys25/sb/mfsys25_mfsys35_spec_update_feb11.pdf

But I will ask Intel on more details on sensor 47 and sensor 59 as you
have requested to be sure. I'll let you know on the list once I have
more details on that.

Best regards,
Werner
