
Processors which have different Intel
together if they are otherwise compatible and if a common link frequency can be
selected. The common link frequency would be the highest link frequency that all
installed processors can achieve.

Processor stepping within a common processor family can be mixed as long as it is
listed in the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation.

Processor Initialization Error Summary

The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for the
MFS2600KIdesigned around the Intel
C602-J chipset product family architecture. The errors fall into one of the following categories:
Fatal: If the system can boot, it pauses at a blank screen with the text "Unrecoverable

fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved" and "Press <F2>
to enter setup", regardless of whether the "Post Error Pause" setup option is enabled or
disabled.
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 System Event Log
(SEL) with the POST Error Code.
The system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the
faulty part and restart the system.
For Fatal Errors during processor initialization, the System Status LED will be set to a
steady Amber color, indicating an unrecoverable system failure condition.
Major: If the "Post Error Pause" setup option is enabled, the system goes directly to the

Error Manager to display the error, and logs the POST Error Code to SEL. Operator
intervention is required to continue booting the system.
Otherwise, if "POST Error Pause" is disabled, the system continues to boot and no
prompt is given for the error, although the Post Error Code is logged to the Error
Manager and in a SEL message.

Minor: The message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen, 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 have any effect on this error.
