3-46 Configuring the System
FRB 3 — 7 minute timer. If the system does not make it
up to the end of POST in 7 minutes, the system
automatically resets and tries again. It is assumed that the
processor failed regardless of what may have caused the
system to hang. The primary processor is taken off line
and the system boots off the secondary processor (if
installed, otherwise it tries to boot again off of the primary
processor.) Bad memory or a bad plug-in card can cause
an FRB 3 failure.
All failures are logged to the system event log.
The system remembers all FRB errors and displays them at
the end of POST until you select the Processor Retest option
from the BIOS Setup utility.
!
CAUTION
For normal operation, leave the FRB Timer
Enable jumper at the factory-default setting.
To disable the FRB Timer Enable:
1.
Power off the system and remove the left panel as
described in Chapter 4 of this guide.
2.
Move the FRB Timer Enable jumper from pins 1-2 to
pins 2-3. See “Locating system board jumpers” to locate
this jumper.
3.
Replace the side cover (see “Replacing the Side Covers”
in Chapter 4).
4.
Power on the system and wait for POST to complete.
5.
Run the BIOS Setup utility to configure the system.
