BIOS Event Log
The BIOS will output the current boot progress codes on the video screen. Progress codes are 32 bit
quantities plus optional data. The 32 bit numbers include Class, Subclass and Operation
information. Class and Subclass point to the type of the hardware that is being initialized, where as
the Operation field represents the specific initialization activity. Based upon the data bit availability
to display Progress Code, a progress code can be customized to fit the data width. The higher the
data bit, higher the granularity of information, which could send on the progress port. The progress
codes may be reported by the system BIOS or the option ROMs.
The Response section in following table is divided in 3 different types
Warning – The message is displayed on screen and error is logged in SEL. System will continue
booting with degraded state. User may want to replace erroneous unit
Pause – The message is displayed on screen and user input is required to continue. User can take
immediate corrective action or can choose to continue booting.
Halt – System cannot boot unless error is resolved. User needs to replace faulty part and restart the
system.
