Appendix C: POST Error Code

Most error conditions encountered during POST are reported using POST Error Codes. These
codes represent specific failures, warnings, or informational messages that are identified with
particular hardware units. These POST Error Codes may be displayed in the Error Manager
display screen, and are always automatically logged to the System Event Log (SEL). The table
below lists the supported POST Error Codes, with a descriptive Error Message text. For each,
There is also a Response listed, which classifies the error as Minor, Major, or Fatal depending
on how serious the error is and what action the system should take. The Response section in
the following table indicates one of these actions:

Minor: The message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen, and an
error 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.

Major: The message is displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged
to the SEL. The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup determines whether
the system pauses to the Error Manager for this type of error so the user can take
immediate corrective action or the system continues booting.
 Fatal: The system halts during post 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" The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup does not have
any effect with this class of error.
