Revision 2.4
Error
Severity
System Action
Processor Intel® QuickPath
Interconnect link
frequencies not identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the QPI link frequencies and responds as follows:
Adjusts all QPI interconnect link frequencies to the highest
common frequency.
No error is generated –
this is not an error condition.
Continues to boot the system successfully.
If the link frequencies for all QPI links
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.
Displays
0195: Processor Intel(R) QPI link frequencies
unable to synchronize
message in the Error Manager.
Does not disable the processor.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until
the fault condition is remedied.
Processor microcode update
missing
Minor
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
Displays
818x: Processor 0x microcode update not found
message in the Error Manager or on the screen.
The system continues to boot in a degraded state, regardless
of the setting of POST Error Pause in the Setup.
Processor microcode update
failed
Major
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
Displays
816x: Processor 0x unable to apply microcode
update
message in the Error Manager or on the screen.
Takes Major Error action. The system may continue to boot in
a degraded state, depending on the setting of POST Error
Pause in Setup, or may halt with the POST Error Code in the
Error Manager waiting for operator intervention.

Processor Functions Overview
The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 and v4 product families combine several key system
components into a single processor package, including the CPU cores, Integrated Memory
Controller (IMC), and Integrated IO Module (IIO). In addition, each processor package includes
two Intel® QuickPath Interconnect point-to-point links capable of up to 9.6 GT/s, up to 40
lanes of Gen 3 PCI Express* links capable of 8.0 GT/s, and 4 lanes of DMI2/PCI Express* Gen 2
interface with a peak transfer rate of 5.0 GT/s. The processor supports up to 46 bits of
physical address space and 48 bits of virtual address space.
The following sections provide an overview of the key processor features and functions that
help to define the architecture, performance, and supported functionality of the server board.
For more comprehensive processor specific information, refer to the Intel® Xeon® processor
E5-2600 v3 and v4 product family documents listed in the Reference Documents list.
