Error
Severity
System Action

®
QuickPath Interconnect
link frequencies not identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the QPI link frequencies and responds as follows:
 Adjusts all QPI interconnect link frequencies to highest common
frequency.
 No error is generated –
this is not an error condition.
 Continues to boot the system successfully.
If the link frequencies for all QPI links
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.
 Displays “
0195: PProcessor Intel(R) QPI link frequencies unable to
synchronize
” message in the Error Manager.
 Does not disable the processor.
 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
Processor microcode update missing Minor The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
 Displays “
818x: Processor 0x microcode update not found
” message
in the Error Manager or on the screen.
 The system continues to boot in a degraded state, regardless of the
setting of POST Error Pause in the Setup.
Processor microcode update failed
Major
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
 Displays “
816x: Processor 0x unable to apply microcode update
”
message in the Error Manager or on the screen.
Takes Major Error action. The system may continue to boot in a
degraded state, depending on the setting of POST Error Pause in
Setup, or may halt with the POST Error Code in the Error Manager
waiting for operator intervention.
3.1.4 Processor Thermal Design Power (TDP) Support
To allow optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-based systems, the processor must
remain within the defined minimum and maximum case temperature (T
CASE) specifications. Thermal solutions
not designed to provide sufficient thermal capability may affect the long-term reliability of the processor and
system. The server board is designed to support the Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-2400 product family TDP
guidelines up to and including 95W.
Disclaimer Note: Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery
components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures through its own chassis development and testing
that when Intel server building blocks are used together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended
thermal requirements of these components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who chooses not to
use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine
the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation
cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside
any of their published operating or non-operating limits
