E.1 Early POST Memory Initialization MRC Diagnostic Codes
Memory initialization at the beginning of POST includes multiple functions: discovery, channel training,
validation that the DIMM population is acceptable and functional, initialization of the IMC and other
hardware settings, and initialization of applicable RAS configurations.
The MRC progress codes are displayed to the diagnostic LEDs that show the execution point in the MRC
operational path at each step.

MRC is done
Should a major memory initialization error occur, preventing the system from booting with data integrity, a
beep code is generated, the MRC displays a fatal error code on the diagnostic LEDs, and a system halt
command is executed. Fatal MRC error halts do not change the state of the system status LED and they do
not get logged as SEL events.
Table 10 lists all MRC fatal errors that are displayed to the diagnostic LEDs.
