Intel® Server System M50CYP1UR Family System Integration and Service Guide

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.
lists all MRC fatal errors that are displayed to the diagnostic LEDs.
Note:
Fatal MRC errors display POST error codes that may be the same as BIOS POST progress codes
displayed later in the POST process. The fatal MRC codes can be distinguished from the BIOS POST progress
codes by the accompanying memory failure beep code of three long beeps as identified in
Table 10. MRC Fatal Error Codes
