5.1 Fan sensors
There are three types of fan sensors that can be present on Intel
®
server systems: speed, presence and redundancy. The last two are only
present in systems with hot-swap redundant fans.
5.1.1 Fan Speed Sensors
Fan speed sensors monitor the rpm signal on the relevant fan headers on the platform. Fan speed sensors are threshold-based sensors.
Usually they only have lower (critical) thresholds set, so that a SEL entry is only generated should the fan spin too slowly.

30h – 39h (Chassis specific)
Event Direction and
Event Type
[7] Event direction
0b = Assertion Event
1b = Deassertion Event
[6:0] Event Type = 01h (Threshold)
[7:6] – 01b = Trigger reading in Event Data 2
[5:4] – 01b = Trigger threshold in Event Data 3
[3:0] – Event Trigger Offset as described in Table 28
Reading that triggered event
Threshold value that triggered event
The following table describes the severity of each of the event triggers for both assertion and for deassertion.
