2. Assert NMI on PERR
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text: On PERR, generate an NMI and log an error.
Note: This option is only active if the Assert NMI on SERR option has [Enabled] selected.
Comments: This option allows the system to generate an NMI when a PERR occurs,
which is a method Legacy Operating System error handlers may use instead of processing a
Machine Check.

3. Reset on CATERR
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text: When enabled system gets reset upon encountering Catastrophic Error
(CATERR); when disabled system does not get reset on CATERR.
Comments: This option controls whether the system will be reset when the
Catastrophic Error CATERR# signal is held asserted, rather than just pulsed to generate an
SMI. This indicates that the processor has encountered a fatal hardware error.
Note: If “Reset on CATERR” is Disabled, this can result in a system hang for certain error
conditions, possibly with the system unable to update the System Status LED or log an error to
the SEL before hanging.

4. Resume on AC Power Loss
Option Values: Stay Off
Last State
Power On
Help Text:
System action to take on AC power loss recovery.
[Stay Off] - System stays off.
[Last State] - System returns to the same state before the AC power loss.
[Power On] - System powers on.
Comments: This option controls the policy that the BMC will follow when AC power
is restored after an unexpected power outage. The BMC will either hold DC power off or
always turn it on to boot the system, depending on this setting – and in the case of Last State,
depending on whether the power was on and the system was running before the AC power went
off.
When this setting is changed in Setup, the new setting will be sent to the BMC. However, the
BMC maintains (“owns”) this Power Restore Policy setting, and it can be changed
independently with an IPMI command to the BMC. BIOS gets this setting from the BMC early
in POST, and also for the Setup Server Management screen.
