Description
With the eMCA feature, the basic input/output system
(BIOS) collects error information recorded in hardware
registers in compliance with UEFI specifications, sends
the error information to the OS over the APEI of the
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI),
and locates the error unit, improving system
availability.
Injects errors to verify various RAS features.
Provides software recovery for uncorrectable errors,
which improves system availability.
Improves system availability.
The out-of-band system accesses MCA registers by
using the Platform Environment Control Interface
(PECI). If a fatal error occurs in the system, the out-of-
band system collects onsite data to facilitate error
analysis and locating and improve system
serviceability.
The BIOS processes errors and reports error
information to the OS and iBMC in compliance with
specifications to improve system serviceability.
The BIOS provides physical unit information for
DIMM errors, and the OS traces and predicts errors,
and isolates error memory pages.
Remarks
-
The NVMe PCIe SSD cannot be used as a
boot device.
