Platform Management Functional Overview

Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP

Reversion of temporary test modes for the BMC back to normal operational modes.

FP status LED and DIMM fault LEDs may not reflect BIOS detected errors.

6.6

Fault Resilient Booting (FRB)

Fault resilient booting (FRB) is a set of BIOS and BMC algorithms and hardware support that

allow a multiprocessor system to boot even if the bootstrap processor (BSP) fails. Only FRB2 is

supported using watchdog timer commands.

FRB2 refers to the FRB algorithm that detects system failures during POST. The BIOS uses the

BMC watchdog timer to back up its operation during POST. The BIOS configures the watchdog

timer to indicate that the BIOS is using the timer for the FRB2 phase of the boot operation.

After the BIOS has identified and saved the BSP information, it sets the FRB2 timer use bit and

loads the watchdog timer with the new timeout interval.

If the watchdog timer expires while the watchdog use bit is set to FRB2, the BMC (if so

configured) logs a watchdog expiration event showing the FRB2 timeout in the event data bytes.

The BMC then hard resets the system, assuming the BIOS-selected reset as the watchdog

timeout action.

The BIOS is responsible for disabling the FRB2 timeout before initiating the option ROM scan

and before displaying a request for a boot password. If the processor fails and causes an FRB2

timeout, the BMC resets the system.

The BIOS gets the watchdog expiration status from the BMC. If the status shows an expired

FRB2 timer, the BIOS enters the failure in the system event log (SEL). In the OEM bytes entry

in the SEL, the last POST code generated during the previous boot attempt is written. FRB2

failure is not reflected in the processor status sensor value.

The FRB2 failure does not affect the front panel LEDs.

6.7

Sensor Monitoring

The BMC monitors system hardware and reports system health. Some of the sensors include

those for monitoring:



Component, board, and platform temperatures



Board and platform voltages



System fan presence and tach



Chassis intrusion



Front Panel NMI



Front Panel Power and System Reset Buttons



SMI timeout



Processor errors

The information gathered from physical sensors is translated into IPMI sensors as part of the

IPMI Sensor Model. The BMC also reports various system state changes by maintaining virtual

sensors that are not specifically tied to physical hardware.
