Table 7. Post Error Codes And Messages - Intel P4304XXMFEN2 Service Manual

Intel ® Server Chassis P4304XXMFEN2/P4304XXMUXX Product Family System Integration and Service Guide
Most error conditions encountered during POST are reported using POST Error Codes. These codes
represent specific failures, warnings, or are informational. POST Error Codes may be displayed in the
Error Manager Display screen, and are always logged to the System Event Log (SEL). Logged events are
available to System Management applications, including Remote and Out of Band (OOB) management.
There are exception cases in early initialization where system resources are not adequately initialized
for handling POST Error Code reporting. These cases are primarily Fatal Error conditions resulting from
initialization of processors and memory, and they are handed by a Diagnostic LED display with a system
halt.
The following table lists the supported POST Error Codes. Each error code is assigned an error type
which determines the action the BIOS will take when the error is encountered. Error types include
Minor, Major, and Fatal. The BIOS action for each is defined as follows:

found. System will not boot until the error is resolved" and "Press <F2> to enter setup" The
POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup does not have any effect with this class of error.
When the operator presses the F2 key on the keyboard, the error message is displayed on the Error
Manager screen, and an error is logged to the SEL with the error code. The system cannot boot
unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system.
Note: The POST error codes in the following table are common to all current generation Intel server
platforms. Features present on a given server board/system will determine which of the listed error
codes are supported.
Error Code
0012 System RTC date/time not set
0048 Password check failed
0140 PCI component encountered a PERR error
0141 PCI resource conflict
0146 PCI out of resources error
0191 Processor core/thread count mismatch detected
0192 Processor cache size mismatch detected
