Byte Data field

[6] – 0b = Sensor scanning disabled
[5] – 1b = Initial update in progress. This bit is set to indicate that a
“Re-arm Sensor Events” or “Set Event Receiver” command has been used
to request an update of the sensor status, and that update has not
occurred yet. Software should use this bit to avoid getting an incorrect
status while the first sensor update is in progress. This bit is only required
if it is possible for the controller
to receive and process a “Get Sensor Reading” or “Get Sensor
Event Status” command for the sensor before the update has completed.
This is most likely to be the case for sensors, such as
fan RPM sensors, that may require seconds to accumulate the first
reading after a re-arm.
[4:0] – Reserved. Ignore on read.

4

[7:4] – Reserved. Write as 0h, ignore on read
[3] 1b = IPMB A enabled, IPMB-B enabled
[2] 1b = IPMB A disabled, IPMB-B enabled
[1] 1b = IPMB-A enabled, IPMB-B disabled
[0] 1b = IPMB A disabled, IPMB-B disabled

(5)

[7:0] – Optional/Reserved. If provided, write as 80h (IPMI restriction).
Ignore on read.
