17 Revision 1.3
Error Severity System Action
Processor cores/threads not
identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Halts at POST Code 0xE5.
Halts with 3 long beeps and 1 short beep.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault condition is
remedied.
Processor cache or home agent
not identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Halts at POST Code 0xE5.
Halts with 3 long beeps and 1 short beep.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault condition is
remedied.
Processor frequency (speed)
not identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the processor frequency difference, and responds as follows:
Adjusts all processor frequencies to the highest common frequency.
No error is generated – this is not an error condition.
Continues to boot the system successfully.
If the frequencies for all processors 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.
Does not disable the processor.
Displays “0197: Processor speeds unable to synchronize” message in the Error
Manager.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault condition is
remedied.
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 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.
Does not disable the processor.
Displays “0195: Processor Intel(R) QPI link frequencies unable to synchronize”
message in the Error Manager.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault condition is
remedied.
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.
