Table 16. BIOS Generated System Events (continued)
Event Message Severity Cause
Logging is disabled.
Critical This event is generated when the ECC
single bit error rate is exceeded.
The system board fail-safe
voltage is outside of range.
Critical This event is generated when the system
board voltages are not at normal levels.
The system board fail-safe
voltage is within range.
Information This event is generated when earlier Fail-
Safe system voltages return to a normal
level.
A hardware incompatibility
detected between BMC/iDRAC
firmware and CPU.
Critical This event is generated when there is a
mismatch between the BMC and iDRAC
firmware and the processor in use or
vice versa.
A hardware incompatibility
was corrected between BMC/
iDRAC firmware and CPU.
Information This event is generated when an earlier
mismatch between the BMC and iDRAC
firmware and the processor is corrected.
Device option ROM on embedded
NIC failed to support Link
Tuning or FlexAddress.
Critical This event is generated when the PCI
device option ROM for a NIC does
not support link tuning or the Flex
addressing feature.
Device option ROM on
mezzanine card <number>
failed to support Link Tuning
or FlexAddress.
Critical This event is generated when the PCI
device option ROM for a NIC does
not support link tuning or the Flex
addressing feature.
Failed to program virtual
MAC address on a component
at bus <bus> device <device>
function <function>.
Critical This event is generated when BIOS fails
to program virtual MAC address on the
given NIC device.
Failed to get Link Tuning or
FlexAddress data from iDRAC.
Critical This event is generated when BIOS could
not obtain virtual MAC address or Link
Tuning data from iDRAC.
An unknown system hardware
failure detected.
Critical This event is generated when an
unknown hardware failure is detected.
POST fatal error <error
description>
Critical This event is generated when a fatal
error occurs during system boot. For
more information, see POST Code
Errors.
POST Code Table
The following table lists the POST Code errors that are generated when a fatal error occurs during system boot.
Table 17. POST Code Table
Fatal Error Code Description Cause
80 No memory detected. This error code implies that no memory
is installed.
81 Memory detected but is not
configurable.
This error code indicates memory
configuration error that could be a result
of bad memory, mismatched memory or
bad socket.
82 Memory configured but not usable. This error code indicates memory sub-
system failure.
