Hexadecimal A h C h
Result AC h
Upper nibble bits = 1010b = A h; Lower nibble bits = 1100b = C h; the two Hex Nibble values are combined to
create a single AC h POST Progress Code.
C.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.
