Processor Population Rules
Note: Although the Compute Module does support dual-processor configurations consisting of
different processors that meet the defined criteria below, Intel® does not perform validation
testing of this configuation. For optimal performance in dual-processor configurations, Intel®
recommends that identical processors be installed.
When using a single processor configuration, the processor must be installed into the processor
socket labeled CPU1.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
.
.
.
Both processors must be of the same processor family.
Both processors must have the same number of cores.
Both processors must have the same cache sizes for all levels of processor cache
memory.
.
Processors with different core frequencies can be mixed in a system, given the prior
rules are met. If this condition is detected, all processor core frequencies are set to the
lowest common denominator (highest common speed) and an error is reported.

Revision 1.0
Intel order number: G51989-002
Intel® Compute Module MFS2600KI TPS
Functional Architecture
.
Processors which have different Intel® Quickpath (QPI) Link Frequencies may operate
together if they are otherwise compatible and if a common link frequency can be
selected. The common link frequency would be the highest link frequency that all
installed processors can achieve.
.
Processor stepping within a common processor family can be mixed as long as it is
listed in the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation.
3.1.2
Processor Initialization Error Summary
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for the
MFS2600KIdesigned around the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 product family and Intel®
C602-J chipset product family architecture. The errors fall into one of the following categories:
.
Fatal: If the system can boot, it pauses at a blank screen with the text “Unrecoverable
fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved” and “Press <F2>
to enter setup”, regardless of whether the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled or
disabled.
When the operator presses the <F2> key on the keyboard, the error message is
displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the System Event Log
(SEL) with the POST Error Code.
The system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the
faulty part and restart the system.
For Fatal Errors during processor initialization, the System Status LED will be set to a
steady Amber color, indicating an unrecoverable system failure condition.
.
Major: If the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled, the system goes directly to the
Error Manager to display the error, and logs the POST Error Code to SEL. Operator
intervention is required to continue booting the system.
Otherwise, if “POST Error Pause” is disabled, the system continues to boot and no
prompt is given for the error, although the Post Error Code is logged to the Error
Manager and in a SEL message.
.
Minor: The message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen, and
the POST Error Code is logged to the SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded
state. The user may want to replace the erroneous unit. The POST Error Pause option
setting in the BIOS setup does not have any effect on this error.

3.2.1
Intel® QuickPath Interconnect
The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) is a high speed, packetized, point-to-point interconnect
used in the processor. The narrow high-speed links stitch together processors in distributed
shared memory and integrated I/O platform architecture. It offers much higher bandwidth with
low latency. The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect has an efficient architecture allowing more
interconnect performance to be achieved in real systems. It has a snoop protocol optimized for
low latency and high scalability, as well as packet and lane structures enabling quick
completions of transactions. Reliability, availability, and serviceability features (RAS) are built into
the architecture.
The physical connectivity of each interconnect link is made up of twenty differential signal pairs
plus a differential forwarded clock. Each port supports a link pair consisting of two uni-directional
links to complete the connection between two components. This supports traffic in both
directions simultaneously. To facilitate flexibility and longevity, the interconnect is defined as
having five layers: Physical, Link, Routing, Transport, and Protocol.
The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect includes a cache coherency protocol to keep the distributed
memory and caching structures coherent during system operation. It supports both low-latency
source snooping and a scalable home snoop behavior. The coherency protocol provides for
direct cache-to-cache transfers for optimal latency.
3.2.2
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
Most Intel® Xeon® processors support Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology. The BIOS detects
processors that support this feature and enables the feature during POST.
If the processor supports this feature, the BIOS Setup provides an option to enable or disable
this feature. The default is enabled.
3.3 Processor Integrated I/O Module (IIO)
The processor’s integrated I/O module provides features traditionally supported through chipset
components. The integrated I/O module provides the following features:
3.3.1
PCI Express Interfaces
The integrated I/O module incorporates the PCI Express interface and supports up to 40 lanes
of PCI Express. The following tables list the CPU PCIe port connectivity of the Intel® Compute
Module MFS2600KI.

DMI2 Interface to the PCH
The platform requires an interface to the legacy Southbridge (PCH) which provides basic,
legacy functions required for the server platform and operating systems. Since only one PCH is
required and allowed for the system, CPU2 which does not connect to PCH would use this port
as a standard x4 PCI Express 2.0 interface.

3.4.1.1
Intel® Compute Module MFS2600KI Supported Memory
Each processor provides four banks of memory, each capable of supporting up to two DIMMs.
.
.
DIMMs are organized into physical slots on DDR3 memory channels that belong to
processor sockets.
The memory channels from processor socket 1 are identified as Channel A, B, C, and D.
The memory channels from processor socket 2 are identified as Channel E, F, G, and H.

Revision 1.0
Intel order number: G51989-002
Intel® Compute Module MFS2600KI TPS
Functional Architecture
.
The silk screened DIMM slot identifiers on the board provide information about the
channel, and therefore the processor to which they belong. For example, DIMM_A1 is
the first slot on Channel A on processor 1; DIMM_E1 is the first DIMM socket on
Channel E on processor 2.
.
.
The memory slots associated with a given processor are unavailable if the
corresponding processor socket is not populated.
A processor may be installed without populating the associated memory slots provided
and a second processor is installed with associated memory. In this case, the memory is
shared by the processors. However, the platform suffers performance degradation and
latency due to the remote memory.
.
Processor sockets are self-contained and autonomous. However, all memory subsystem
support (such as Memory RAS, Error Management,) in the BIOS setup are applied
commonly across processor sockets.

Publishing Compute Module Memory
.
The BIOS displays the “Total Memory” of the compute module during POST if Display
Logo is disabled in the BIOS setup. This is the total size of memory discovered by the
BIOS during POST, and is the sum of the individual sizes of installed DDR3 DIMMs in
the system.
.
The BIOS displays the “Effective Memory” of the compute module in the BIOS setup.
The term Effective Memory refers to the total size of all DDR3 DIMMs that are active (not
disabled) and not used as redundant units.
.
.
The BIOS provides the total memory of the compute module in the main page of the
BIOS setup. This total is the same as the amount described by the first bullet above.
If Display Logo is disabled, the BIOS displays the total system memory on the diagnostic
screen at the end of POST. This total is the same as the amount described by the first
bullet above.
3.4.3
Memory Map and Population Rules
The following are generic DIMM population requirements that generally apply to the Intel®
Compute Module MFS2600KI.
.
.
DIMM slots on any memory channel must be filled following the “farthest fill first” rule.
A maximum of eight ranks can be installed on any one channel, counting all ranks in
each DIMM on the channel.
.
.
.
.
.
DIMM types (UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM) must not be mixed within or across processor
sockets.
Mixing ECC with non-ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs) is not supported within or across
processor sockets.
Mixing Low Voltage (1.35V) DIMMs with Standard Voltage (1.5V) DIMMs is not
supported within or across processor sockets.
Mixing DIMMs of different frequencies and latencies is not supported within or across
processor sockets.
LRDIMM Rank Multiplication Mode and Direct Map Mode must not be mixed within or
across processor sockets.
.
.
.
.
Only ECC UDIMMs support Low Voltage 1.35V operation.
QR RDIMMs may only be installed in DIMM Slot 1 or 2 on a channel.
Two DPC QR Low Voltage RDIMMs are not supported.
In order to install 3 QR LRDIMMs on the same channel, they must be operated with
Rank Multiplication as RM = 2.
.
.
RAS Modes Lockstep, Rank Sparing, and Mirroring are mutually exclusive in this BIOS.
Only one operating mode may be selected, and it will be applied to the entire system.
If a RAS Mode has been configured, and the memory population will not support it
during boot, the system will fall back to Independent Channel Mode and log and
display errors

.
.
Rank Sparing Mode is only possible when all channels that are populated with memory
meet the requirement of having at least two SR or DR DIMM installed, or at least one
QR DIMM installed, on each populated channel.
Lockstep or Mirroring Modes require that for any channel pair that is populated with
memory, the memory population on both channels of the pair must be identically sized.
DIMM population rules require that DIMMs within a channel be populated starting with the BLUE
DIMM slot or DIMM farthest from the processor in a “fill-farthest” approach. In addition, when
populating a Quad-rank DIMM with a Single- or Dual-rank DIMM in the same channel, the
Quad-rank DIMM must be populated farthest from the processor.

Memory RAS
RAS Features
3.4.4.1
The Compute Module supports the following memory RAS features:
.
.
.
.
Independent Channel Mode
Rank Sparing Mode
Mirrored Channel Mode
Lockstep Channel Mode
Regardless of RAS mode, the requirements for populating within a channel given in the section
3.3.3 must be met at all times. Note that support of RAS modes that require matching DIMM
population between channels (Mirrored and Lockstep) require that ECC DIMMs be populated.
Independent Channel Mode is the only mode that supports non-ECC DIMMs in addition to ECC
DIMMs.
For RAS modes that require matching populations, the same slot positions across channels
must hold the same DIMM type with regards to size and organization. DIMM timings do not
have to match but timings will be set to support all DIMMs populated (that is, DIMMs with slower
timings will force faster DIMMs to the slower common timing modes).
3.4.4.2
Independent Channel Mode
Channels can be populated in any order in Independent Channel Mode. All four channels may
be populated in any order and have no matching requirements. All channels must run at the
same interface frequency but individual channels may run at different DIMM timings (RAS
latency, CAS Latency, and so forth).
3.4.4.3
Rank Sparing Mode
In Rank Sparing Mode, one rank is a spare of the other ranks on the same channel. The spare
rank is held in reserve and is not available as system memory. The spare rank must have
identical or larger memory capacity than all the other ranks (sparing source ranks) on the same
channel. After sparing, the sparing source rank will be lost.

3.4.4.4
Mirrored Channel Mode
In Mirrored Channel Mode, the memory contents are mirrored between Channel 0 and Channel 2
and also between Channel 1 and Channel 3. As a result of the mirroring, the total physical
memory available to the system is half of what is populated. Mirrored Channel Mode requires
that Channel 0 and Channel 2, and Channel 1 and Channel 3 must be populated identically with
regards to size and organization. DIMM slot populations within a channel do not have to be
identical but the same DIMM slot location across Channel 0 and Channel 2 and across Channel
1 and Channel 3 must be populated the same.
3.4.4.5
Lockstep Channel Mode
In Lockstep Channel Mode, each memory access is a 128-bit data access that spans Channel 0
and Channel 1, and Channel 2 and Channel 3. Lockstep Channel mode is the only RAS mode
that allows SDDC for x8 devices. Lockstep Channel Mode requires that Channel 0 and Channel
1, and Channel 2 and Channel 3 must be populated identically with regards to size and
organization. DIMM slot populations within a channel do not have to be identical but the same
DIMM slot location across Channel 0 and Channel 1 and across Channel 2 and Channel 3 must
be populated the same.

** Video resolutions at 1600x1200 and higher are only supported through the
external video connector located on the rear I/O section of the server board.
Utilizing the optional front panel video connector may result in lower video
resolutions.
The server board provides two video interfaces. The primary video interface is accessed using a
standard 15-pin VGA connector found on the back edge of the server board. In addition, video
signals are routed to a 14-pin header labeled “FP_Video” on the leading edge of the server
board, allowing for the option of cabling to a front panel video connector. Attaching a monitor to
the front panel video connector will disable the primary external video connector on the back
edge of the board.
The BIOS supports dual-video mode when an add-in video card is installed.
.
.
In the single mode (dual monitor video = disabled), the on-board video controller is
disabled when an add-in video card is detected.
In the dual mode (on-board video = enabled, dual monitor video = enabled), the on-
board video controller is enabled and is the primary video device. The add-in video card
is allocated resources and is considered the secondary video device. The BIOS Setup
utility provides options to configure the feature as follows:

4. System Security
4.1 BIOS Password Protection
The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the server setup. Passwords
can restrict entry to the BIOS Setup, restrict use of the Boot Popup menu, and suppress
automatic USB device reordering.
There is also an option to require a Power On password entry in order to boot the system. If the
Power On Password function is enabled in Setup, the BIOS will halt early in POST to request a
password before continuing POST.
Both Administrator and User passwords are supported by the BIOS. An Administrator password
must be installed in order to set the User password. The maximum length of a password is
14 characters. A password can have alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters and it is case
sensitive. Certain special characters are also allowed, from the following set:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = ?
The Administrator and User passwords must be different from each other. An error message will
be displayed if there is an attempt to enter the same password for one as for the other.
The use of “Strong Passwords” is encouraged, but not required. In order to meet the criteria for
a “Strong Password”, the password entered must be at least 8 characters in length, and must
include at least one each of alphabetic, numeric, and special characters. If a “weak” password is
entered, a popup warning message will be displayed, although the weak password will
be accepted.
Once set, a password can be cleared by changing it to a null string. This requires the
Administrator password, and must be done through BIOS Setup or other explicit means of
changing the passwords. Clearing the Administrator password will also clear the
User password.
Alternatively, the passwords can be cleared by using the Password Clear jumper if necessary.
Resetting the BIOS configuration settings to default values (by any method) has no effect on the
Administrator and User passwords.
Entering the User password allows the user to modify only the System Time and System Date in
the Setup Main screen. Other setup fields can be modified only if the Administrator password
has been entered. If any password is set, a password is required to enter the BIOS setup.
The Administrator has control over all fields in the BIOS setup, including the ability to clear the
User password and the Administrator password.
It is strongly recommended that at least an Administrator Password be set, since not having set
a password gives everyone who boots the system the equivalent of Administrative access.
Unless an Administrator password is installed, any User can go into Setup and change BIOS
settings at will.
In addition to restricting access to most Setup fields to viewing only when a User password is
entered, defining a User password imposes restrictions on booting the system. In order to
simply boot in the defined boot order, no password is required. However, the F6 Boot popup

System Security
Intel® Compute Module MFS2600KI TPS
prompts for a password, and can only be used with the Administrator password. Also, when a
User password is defined, it suppresses the USB Reordering that occurs, if enabled, when a
new USB boot device is attached to the system. A User is restricted from booting in anything
other than the Boot Order defined in the Setup by an Administrator.
As a security measure, if a User or Administrator enters an incorrect password three times in a
row during the boot sequence, the system is placed into a halt state. A system reset is required
to exit out of the halt state. This feature makes it more difficult to guess or break a password.
In addition, on the next successful reboot, the Error Manager displays a Major Error code 0048,
which also logs a SEL event to alert the authorized user or administrator that a password
access failure has occurred.
4.2 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Support
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) option is a hardware-based security device that addresses
the growing concern on boot process integrity and offers better data protection. TPM protects
the system start-up process by ensuring it is tamper-free before releasing system control to the
operating system. A TPM device provides secured storage to store data, such as security keys
and passwords. In addition, a TPM device has encryption and hash functions. The compute
module implements TPM as per TPM PC Client Specifications revision 1.2 by the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG).
A TPM device is optionally installed onto a high density 14-pin connector labeled “TPM” on the
compute module, and is secured from external software attacks and physical theft. A pre-boot
environment, such as the BIOS and operating system loader, uses the TPM to collect and store
unique measurements from multiple factors within the boot process to create a system
fingerprint. This unique fingerprint remains the same unless the pre-boot environment is
tampered with. Therefore, it is used to compare to future measurements to verify the integrity of
the boot process.
After the system BIOS completes the measurement of its boot process, it hands off control to
the operating system loader and in turn to the operating system. If the operating system is TPM-
enabled, it compares the BIOS TPM measurements to those of previous boots to make sure the
system was not tampered with before continuing the operating system boot process. Once the
operating system is in operation, it optionally uses TPM to provide additional system and data
security (for example, Microsoft Vista* supports Bitlocker drive encryption).
4.2.1
TPM security BIOS
The BIOS TPM support conforms to the TPM PC Client Implementation Specification for
Conventional BIOS and to the TPM Interface Specification, and the Microsoft Windows
BitLocker* Requirements. The role of the BIOS for TPM security includes the following:
.
Measures and stores the boot process in the TPM microcontroller to allow a TPM
enabled operating system to verify system boot integrity.
.
.
Produces EFI and legacy interfaces to a TPM-enabled operating system for using TPM.
Produces ACPI TPM device and methods to allow a TPM-enabled operating system to
send TPM administrative command requests to the BIOS.

.
.
Verifies operator physical presence. Confirms and executes operating system TPM
administrative command requests.
Provides BIOS Setup options to change TPM security states and to clear TPM
ownership.
For additional details, refer to the TCG PC Client Specific Implementation Specification, the
TCG PC Client Specific Physical Presence Interface Specification, and the Microsoft BitLocker*
Requirement documents.
4.2.2
Physical Presence
Administrative operations to the TPM require TPM ownership or physical presence indication by
the operator to confirm the execution of administrative operations. The BIOS implements the
operator presence indication by verifying the setup Administrator password.
A TPM administrative sequence invoked from the operating system proceeds as follows:
1. User makes a TPM administrative request through the operating system’s security software.
2. The operating system requests the BIOS to execute the TPM administrative command
through TPM ACPI methods and then resets the system.
3. The BIOS verifies the physical presence and confirms the command with the operator.
4. The BIOS executes TPM administrative command(s), inhibits BIOS Setup entry and boots
directly to the operating system which requested the TPM command(s).
4.2.3
TPM Security Setup Options
The BIOS TPM Setup allows the operator to view the current TPM state and to carry out
rudimentary TPM administrative operations. Performing TPM administrative options through the
BIOS setup requires TPM physical presence verification.
Using BIOS TPM Setup, the operator can turn ON or OFF TPM functionality and clear the TPM
ownership contents. After the requested TPM BIOS Setup operation is carried out, the option
reverts to No Operation.
The BIOS TPM Setup also displays the current state of the TPM, whether TPM is enabled or
disabled and activated or deactivated. Note that while using TPM, a TPM-enabled operating
system or application may change the TPM state independent of the BIOS setup. When an
operating system modifies the TPM state, the BIOS Setup displays the updated TPM state.
The BIOS Setup TPM Clear option allows the operator to clear the TPM ownership key and
allows the operator to take control of the system with TPM. You use this option to clear security
settings for a newly initialized system or to clear a system for which the TPM ownership security
key was lost.

6.1 CMOS Clear and Password Clear Usage Procedure
The CMOS Clear (J1F8) and Password Clear (J1F9) recovery features are designed such that
the desired operation can be achieved with minimal system downtime. The usage procedure for
these two features has changed from previous generation Intel® server boards. The following
procedure outlines the new usage model.
1. Power down the compute module.
2. Remove the compute module from the modular server chassis.
3. Open the compute module.
4. Move jumper from the default operating position (pins 1-2) to the Clear position
(pins 2-3).
5. Wait 5 seconds.
6. Move jumper back to the default position (pins 1-2).
7. Close the compute module.
8. Reinstall the compute module in the modular server chassis.
9. Power up the compute module.

6.2 Integrated BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard Integrated BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility
places the Integrated BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the
flash device. In the unlikely event that the Integrated BMC firmware update process fails due to
the Integrated BMC not being in the proper update state, the compute module provides a BMC
Force Update jumper (J1F3), which will force the Integrated BMC into the proper update state.
The following procedure should be followed in the event the standard Integrated BMC firmware
update process fails.
1. Power down the compute module.
2. Remove the compute module from the modular server chassis.
3. Open the compute module.
4. Move jumper from the default operating position (pins 1-2) to the “Enabled” position
(pins 2-3)
5. Close the compute module.
6. Reinstall and power up the compute module.
7. Perform Integrated BMC firmware update procedure.
8. Power down the compute module.
9. Remove the compute module from the server system.
10. Move jumper from the “Enabled” position (pins 2-3) to the “Disabled” position (pins 1-2).
11. Close the compute module.
12. Reinstall the compute module into the modular server chassis.
13. Power up the compute module.
Note: Normal Integrated BMC functionality (for example, KVM, monitoring, and remote media)
is disabled with the force BMC update jumper set to the “Enabled” position. The server should
never be run with the BMC force update jumper set in this position and should only be used
when the standard firmware update process fails. This jumper should remain in the default –
disabled position when the server is running normally.
6.3 Integrated BMC Initialization
When the DC power is first applied to the compute module by installing it into a chassis, 5V-
STBY is present, the Integrated BMC on the compute module requires 15-30 seconds to
initialize. During this time, the power button functionality of the control panel is disabled,
preventing the compute module from powering up.
6.4 ME Force Update Jumper
When performing the standard ME force update procedure, the update utility places the ME into
an update mode, allowing the ME to load safely onto the flash device. In the unlikely event ME
firmware update process fails due to ME not being in the proper update state, the compute
module provides an Integrated BMC Force Update jumper, which forces the ME into the proper
update state. The following procedure should be completed in the event the standard ME
firmware update process fails.

1. Power down and remove the compute module from chassis.
2. Open the compute module enclosure
3. Move jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the enabled
position (covering pins 2 and 3).
4. Close the compute module enclosure.
5. Reinsert the compute module and power up.
6. Perform the ME firmware update procedure as documented in the README.TXT file
that is included in the given ME firmware update package (same package as BIOS).
7. Power down and remove the compute module.
8. Open the compute module enclosure.
9. Move jumper from the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3) to the disabled position
(covering pins 1 and 2).
10. Close the compute module enclosure.
11. Reinsert the compute module and power up.
6.5 BIOS Recovery Jumper
The following procedure boots the recovery BIOS and flashes the normal BIOS:
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Move the BIOS recovery jumper to the recovery state.
3. Insert a bootable BIOS recovery media containing the new BIOS image files.
4. Turn on the system power.
The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress, and the system will boot to the EFI
shell. The EFI shell then executes the Startup.nsh batch file to start the flash update process.
The user should then switch off the power and return the recovery jumper to its normal position.
The user should not interrupt the BIOS POST on the first boot after recovery.
When the flash update completes:
1. Remove the recovery media.
2. Turn off the system power.
3. Restore the jumper to its original position.
4. Turn on the system power.
5. Re-flash any custom blocks, such as user binary or language blocks.
The system should now boot using the updated system BIOS.

When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and
bus/core speed. Mixed processor steppings are supported as long as they are listed in
the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation. However, the
stepping of one processor cannot be greater than one stepping back of the other.
This server board supports The Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 product family with a
Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to and including 95 Watts. Previous generations of
the Intel® Xeon® processors are not supported.
.
.
Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 must be populated for the Compute
Module to operate.
On the front edge of the Compute Module are eight diagnostic LEDs that display a
sequence of amber POST codes during the boot process. If the server board hangs
during POST, the LEDs display the last POST event run before the hang.
.
.
This server board only supports registered DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs) and unbuffered
DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMMs). Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not supported.
For the best performance, the number of DDR3 DIMMs installed should be balanced
across both processor sockets and memory channels. For example, a two-DIMM
configuration performs better than a one-DIMM configuration. In a two-DIMM
configuration, DIMMs should be installed in DIMM sockets A1 and E1. An eight-DIMM
configuration (DIMM sockets A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, and H1) performs better than a
four-DIMM configuration (DIMM sockets A1, B1, C1, and D1).
.
.
Normal Integrated BMC functionality (for example, KVM, monitoring, and remote media)
is disabled with the BMC Force Update jumper set to the “enabled” position (pins 2-3).
The Compute Module should never be run with the BMC Force Update jumper set in this
position and should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This
jumper should remain in the default (disabled) position (pins 1-2) when the server is
running normally.
When performing a normal BIOS update procedure, the BIOS recovery jumper must be
set to its default position (pins 1-2).

Appendix B: POST Code Diagnostic LED Decoder
Appendix B: POST Code Diagnostic LED Decoder
During the system boot process, the BIOS executes a number of platform configuration
processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each configuration
routine is started, the BIOS displays the POST code to the POST Code Diagnostic LEDs on the
back edge of the server board. To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the POST
process, the Diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the last POST process that was executed.
Each POST code is represented by a sequence of eight amber diagnostic LEDs. The POST
codes are divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. The upper nibble bits are
represented by diagnostic LEDs #4, #5, #6, and #7. The lower nibble bits are represented by
diagnostics LEDs #0, #1, #2, and #3. If the bit is set in the upper and lower nibbles, then the
corresponding LED is lit. If the bit is clear, then the corresponding LED is off.
The diagnostic LED #7 is labeled as “MSB”, and the diagnostic LED #0 is labeled as “LSB”.
Figure 10. POST Code Diagnostic LED Decoder
In the following example, the BIOS sends a value of ACh to the diagnostic LED decoder. The
LEDs are decoded as follows:

Memory Initialization at the beginning of POST includes multiple functions, including: 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.
When a major memory initialization error occurs and prevents the system from booting with data
integrity, a beep code is generated, the MRC will display a fatal error code on the diagnostic
LEDs, and a system halt command is executed. Fatal MRC error halts do NOT change the state
of the System Status LED, and they do NOT get logged as SEL events. The following table lists
all MRC fatal errors that are displayed to the Diagnostic LEDs.

Appendix C: POST Error Code
Most error conditions encountered during POST are reported using POST Error Codes. These
codes represent specific failures, warnings, or informational messages that are identified with
particular hardware units. These POST Error Codes may be displayed in the Error Manager
display screen, and are always automatically logged to the System Event Log (SEL). The table
below lists the supported POST Error Codes, with a descriptive Error Message text. For each,
There is also a Response listed, which classifies the error as Minor, Major, or Fatal depending
on how serious the error is and what action the system should take. The Response section in
the following table indicates one of these actions:
.
.
.
Minor: The message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen, and an
error is logged to the SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded state. The user
may want to replace the erroneous unit. The POST Error Pause option setting in the
BIOS setup does not have any effect on this error.
Major: The message is displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged
to the SEL. The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup determines whether
the system pauses to the Error Manager for this type of error so the user can take
immediate corrective action or the system continues booting.
Fatal: The system halts during post at a blank screen with the text “Unrecoverable
fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved” and “Press <F2>
to enter setup” The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup does not have
any effect with this class of error.

POST Error Beep Code
The Integrated BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes
are sounded each time the problem is discovered, such as on each power-up attempt, but are
not sounded continuously. Codes that are common across all Intel® server boards and systems
that use same generation chipset are listed in the following table. Each digit in the code is
represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.
