Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS Product Architecture Overview 3.1.3 Processor Initialization Error Summary The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for all Intel® server boards and Intel server systems designed around the Intel® Xeon® processor E52600 product family and Intel® C600 chipset product family architecture. The errors fall into one of the following categories: Fatal: If the system can boot, it pauses at a blank screen with the text "Unrecoverable fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved" and "Press to enter setup", regardless of whether the "Post Error Pause" setup option is enabled or disabled. When the operator presses the key on the keyboard, the error message is displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the System Event Log (SEL) with the POST Error Code. The system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system. For Fatal Errors during processor initialization, the System Status LED will be set to a steady Amber color, indicating an unrecoverable system failure condition. Major: If the "Post Error Pause" setup option is enabled, the system goes directly to the Error Manager to display the error, and logs the POST Error Code to SEL. Operator intervention is required to continue booting the system. Otherwise, if "POST Error Pause" is disabled, the system continues to boot and no prompt is given for the error, although the Post Error Code is logged to the Error Manager and in a SEL message. Minor: The message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen, and the POST Error Code is logged to the SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded state. The user may want to replace the erroneous unit. The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup does not have any effect on this error. Table 2. Mixed Processor Configurations Error Summary Error Processor family not Identical Processor model not Identical Severity Fatal Fatal System Action The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows: Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL). Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber. Displays "0194: Processor family mismatch detected" message in the Error Manager. Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault condition is remedied. The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows: Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL). Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber. Displays "0196: Processor model mismatch detected" message in the Error Manager. Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault condition is remedied.
