6.3.3 POST Error Messages and Handling
Whenever possible, the BIOS outputs the boot progress codes to the video screen. Progress
codes are 32-bit quantities plus optional data. The 32-bit numbers include class, subclass, and
operation information. The class and subclass fields point to the type of hardware being
initialized. The operation field represents the specific initialization activity. Based on the data bit
availability to display progress codes, a progress code can be customized to fit the data width.
The higher the data bit, the higher the granularity of information that can be sent on the
progress port. The progress codes may be reported by the system BIOS or option ROMs.
The Response section in the following table is divided into three types:
ƒ
Minor:
The message displays on the screen or in the Error Manager screen. The system
continues booting with a degraded state. The user may want to replace the erroneous
unit. The setup POST error Pause setting does not have any effect with this error.
ƒ
Major:
The message displays in the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the
SEL. The setup POST error Pause setting determines whether the system pauses to the
Error Manager for this type of error, where the user can take immediate corrective action
or choose to continue booting.
ƒ
Fatal:
The message displays in the Error Manager screen, an error is logged to the SEL,
and the system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the
faulty part and restart the system. The setup POST error Pause setting does not have
any effect with this error.
