BIOS Setup Utilities Comments: This option controls whether the system will be reset when the "Catastrophic Error" CATERR# signal is held asserted, rather than just pulsed to generate an SMI. This indicates that the processor has encountered a fatal hardware error. Note: If "Reset on CATERR" is Disabled, this can result in a system hang for certain error conditions, possibly with the system unable to update the System Status LED or log an error to the SEL before hanging. 4.

Resume on AC Power Loss Option Values: Stay Off Last State Power On Help Text: System action to take on AC power loss recovery. [Stay Off] - System stays off. [Last State] - System returns to the same state before the AC power loss. [Power On] - System powers on. Comments: This option controls the policy that the BMC will follow when AC power is restored after an unexpected power outage. The BMC will either hold DC power off or always turn it on to boot the system, depending on this setting - and in the case of Last State, depending on whether the power was on and the system was running before the AC power went off. When this setting is changed in Setup, the new setting will be sent to the BMC. However, the BMC maintains ("owns") this Power Restore Policy setting and it can be changed independently with an IPMI command to the BMC. BIOS gets this setting from the BMC early in POST, and also for the Setup Server Management screen. 6. Power Restore Delay 130 Intel® Server System R2000IP Service Guide

Comments: This option controls whether the system will be reset
when the “Catastrophic Error”
CATERR# signal is held asserted, rather than just pulsed to generate an SMI. This indicates that
the processor has encountered a fatal hardware error.
Note
:
If “Reset on CATERR” is Disabled, this can result in a system hang f
or certain error
conditions, possibly with the system unable to update the System Status LED or log an error to the
SEL before hanging.
4.
Reset on ERR2
Option Values:
Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
When enabled system gets reset upon encountering ERR2 (Fatal error); when disabled
system does not get reset on ERR2
Comments:
This option controls whether the system will be reset if the BMC’s ERR2 Monitor
times out, that is, the ERR2 signal has been continuously asserted long enough to indicate that the
SMI Handler is not able to service the condition
Note
:
If “Reset on ERR2” is Disabled, this can result in a system hang for certain error conditions,
possibly with the system unable to update the System Status LED or log an error to the SEL before
hanging.
5.
Resume on AC Power Loss
Option Values:
Stay Off
Last State
Power On
Help Text:
System action to take on AC power loss recovery.
[Stay Off] - System stays off.
[Last State] - System returns to the same state before the AC power loss.
[Power On] - System powers on.
Comments:
This option controls the policy that the BMC will follow when AC power
is restored after an unexpected power outage. The BMC will either hold DC power off or always
turn it on to boot the system, depending on this setting
and in the case of
Last State
, depending
on whether the power was on and the system was running before the AC power went off.
When this setting is changed in Setup, the new setting will be sent to the BMC. However, the
BMC maintains (“owns”) this Power Restore Policy
setting and it can be changed independently
with an IPMI command to the BMC. BIOS gets this setting from the BMC early in POST, and
also for the Setup Server Management screen.
