Hi Paul, I doubt there was an issue with reading the wrong values from the BMC. I have seen many BMCs where the vendor populates the BMC with "poor" choices of default values. In fact, sometimes I've seen vendors populate the BMC with illegal values (e.g. 0x1-0x4 are the only legal values, but the default value populated in the BMC is 0x7).
