Platform event management

Events can trigger alerts and other actions by the BMC. The server is
configured with the following set of standard events:

•

Temperature sensor out of range

•

Voltage sensor out of range

•

Fan failure

•

Chassis intrusion

•

Power supply fault

•

BIOS uncorrectable ECC error

•

BIOS POST error

•

Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure

•

Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the
front panel switch

•

Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle

•

System restart (reboot)

Alerts can take either of these forms:

•

Platform event pages

The BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging
string. To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an
external modem to the emergency management port (COM2).

•

BMC LAN alerts

The BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN.

You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the System Setup
Utility (refer to page 168).
