Intel® Server Board M50CYP2SB Family Technical Product Specification
D.2 Processor Initialization Error Summary
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and actions for all Intel server boards and Intel
server systems designed with the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family architecture. The errors fall into one
of the following categories:
•
Fatal: If the system cannot boot, POST halts and delivers the following error message to the BIOS
Setup Error Manager screen:
Unrecoverable fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is
resolved
Press <F2> to enter setup
When the <F2> key is pressed, the error message is displayed on the BIOS Setup Error Manager
screen and an error is logged to the system event log (SEL) with the POST error code.
The "POST Error Pause" option setting in the BIOS Setup does not affect this error.
If the system is not able to boot, the system generates a beep code consisting of three long beeps
and one short beep. The system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The faulty component must
be replaced.
The system status LED is set to a steady amber color for all fatal errors that are detected during
processor initialization. A steady amber system status LED indicates that an unrecoverable system
failure condition has occurred.
•
Major: An error message is displayed to the Error Manager screen and an error is logged to the SEL. If
the BIOS Setup option "Post Error Pause" is enabled, operator intervention is required to continue
booting the system. If the BIOS Setup option "POST Error Pause" is disabled, the system continues to
boot.
•
Minor: An error message may be displayed to the screen or to the BIOS Setup Error Manager and the
POST error code is logged to the SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded state. The user
may want to replace the erroneous unit. The "POST Error Pause" option setting in the BIOS Setup
does not affect this error.
