Table 2. Mixed Processor Configurations Error Summary - Intel S2600CO Family Technical Product Specification

Functional Architecture Overview
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.

Severity
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL).
 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
 Displays "0194: Processor family mismatch detected" message in the
Error Manager.
 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (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 will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
 Displays "0191: Processor core/thread count mismatch detected"
message in the Error Manager.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
 Displays "0192: Processor cache size mismatch" detected message in
the Error Manager.
 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Fatal The BIOS detects the processor frequency difference, and responds as
follows:
 Adjusts all processor frequencies to the highest common frequency.
 No error is generated – 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,
then this is an error, and the BIOS responds as follows:
 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 will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
