Table 13. Mixed Processor Configurations Error Summary
System Action when BIOS Detects the Error Condition
•
Halts at POST code 0xE6.
•
Halts with three long beeps and one short beep.
•
Takes fatal error action (see above) and does not boot until the fault condition is remedied.
•
Logs the POST error code into the SEL.
•
Alerts the BMC to set the system status LED to steady amber.
•
Displays 0196: Processor model mismatch detected message in the error manager.
•
Takes fatal error action (see above) and does not boot until the fault condition is remedied.
•
Halts at POST code 0xE5.
•
Halts with three long beeps and one short beep.
•
Takes fatal error action (see above) and does not boot until the fault condition is remedied.
•
Halts at POST code 0xE5.
•
Halts with three long beeps and one short beep.
•
Takes fatal error action (see above) and does not boot until the fault condition is remedied.
If the frequencies for all processors can be adjusted to be the same:
•
Adjusts all processor frequencies to the highest common frequency.
•
Does not generate an error – this is not an error condition.
•
Continues to boot the system successfully.
If the frequencies for all processors cannot be adjusted to be the same:
•
Logs the POST error code into the SEL.
•
Alerts the BMC to set the system status LED to steady amber.
•
Does not disable the processor.
•
Displays 0197: Processor speeds unable to synchronize message in the error manager.
•
Takes fatal error action (see above) and does not boot until the fault condition is remedied
If the link frequencies for all Intel® Ultra Path Interconnect (Intel® UPI) links can be adjusted to be
the same:
•
Adjusts all Intel® UPI interconnect link frequencies to highest common frequency.
•
Does not generate an error – this is not an error condition.
•
Continues to boot the system successfully.
If the link frequencies for all Intel® UPI links cannot be adjusted to be the same:
•
Logs the POST error code into the SEL.
•
Alerts the BMC to set the system status LED to steady amber.
•
Does not disable the processor.
•
Displays 0195: Processor Intel(R) UPII link frequencies unable to synchronize message in
the error manager.
•
Takes fatal error action (see above) and does not boot until the fault condition is remedied.
•
Logs the POST error code into the SEL.
•
Displays 816x: Processor 0x unable to apply microcode update message in the error
manager or on the screen.
•
Takes major error action. The system may continue to boot in a degraded state, depending
on the "POST Error Pause" setting in setup, or may halt with the POST error code in the
error manager waiting for operator intervention.
•
Logs the POST error code into the SEL.
•
Displays 818x: Processor 0x microcode update not found message in the error manager or
on the screen.
•
The system continues to boot in a degraded state, regardless of the "POST Error Pause"
setting in setup.
