Table 2. Mixed Processor Configurations Error Summary
Error
Severity
System Action
Processor family not Identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL).
 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
 Displays “
0194: Processor family mismatch detected
” message in
the Error Manager.
 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Processor model not Identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL).
 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
 Displays “
0196: Processor model mismatch detected
” message in
the Error Manager.
 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Processor cores/threads not identical Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
 Displays “
0191: Processor core/thread count mismatch detected
”
message in the Error Manager.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Processor cache not identical Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
 Displays “
0192: Processor cache size mismatch detected
message
in the Error Manager.
 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.
