Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP

BIOS Setup Interface

8. FRB-2 Enable

Option Values:

Enabled

Disabled

Help Text:

Fault Resilient Boot (FRB).

BIOS programs the BMC watchdog timer for approximately 6 minutes. If BIOS does not

complete POST before the timer expires, the BMC will reset the system.

Comments:

This option controls whether the system will be reset if the BMC

Watchdog Timer detects what appears to be a hang during POST. When the BMC

Watchdog Timer is purposed as an FRB 2 timer, it is initially set to allow 6 minutes for

POST to complete.

However, the FRB 2 Timer is suspended during times when some lengthy operations

are in progress, like executing Option ROMS, during Setup, and when BIOS is waiting

for a password or for input to the F6 BBS Boot Menu. The FRB 2 Timer is also

suspended while POST is paused with the <Pause> key.

9. OS Boot Watchdog Timer

Option Values:

Enabled

Disabled

Help Text:

BIOS programs the watchdog timer with the timeout value selected. If the OS does not

complete booting before the timer expires, the BMC will reset the system and an error

will be logged.

Requires OS support or Intel Management Software Support.

Comments:

This option controls whether the system will set the BMC

Watchdog to detect an apparent hang during OS boot. BIOS sets the timer before

starting the OS bootstrap load procedure. If the OS Load Watchdog Timer times out,

then presumably the OS failed to boot properly.

If the OS does boot up successfully, it must be aware of the OS Load Watchdog Timer

and immediately turn it off before it expires. The OS may turn off the timer, or more often

the timer may be repurposed as an OS Watchdog Timer to protect against runtime OS

hangs.

Unless the OS does have timer-aware software to support the OS Load Watchdog Timer,

the system will be unable to boot successfully with the OS Load Watchdog Timer
