Intel® Server Board S2600CP and Server System P4000CP TPS Intel® Server Board S2600CP and Intel® Server System P4000CP Platform Management 6.3.6 Thermal Sensor Input to Fan Speed Control The BMC uses various IPMI sensors as input to the fan speed control. Some of the sensors are IPMI models of actual physical sensors whereas some are "virtual" sensors whose values are derived from physical sensors using calculations and/or tabular information. The following IPMI thermal sensors are used as input to the fan speed control: Front Panel Temperature Sensor1 Baseboard Temperature Sensor2 CPU Margin Sensors3,5,6 DIMM Thermal Margin Sensors3,5 Exit Air Temperature Sensor1,4,8 PCH Temperature Sensor4,6 On-board Ethernet Controller Temperature Sensors4,6 Add-In Intel SAS/IO Module Temperature Sensors4,6 PSU Thermal Sensor4, 9 CPU VR Temperature Sensors4, 7 DIMM VR Temperature Sensors4, 7 iBMC Temperature Sensor4, 7 Global Aggregate Thermal Margin Sensors3, 8 Note: 1.
