Reset on CATERR
Enabled
Disabled
When enabled system gets reset
upon encountering Catastrophic
Error (CATERR); when disabled
system does not get reset on
CATERR.
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.
Reset on ERR2
Enabled
Disabled
When enabled system gets reset
upon encountering ERR2 (Fatal
error); when disabled system does
not get reset on ERR2.
This option controls whether the
system will be reset if the BMC’s
ERR2 Monitor times out, that is, the
ERR2 signal has been continuously
asserted long enough to indicate
that the SMI Handler is not able to
service the condition.
Note: If “Reset on ERR2” 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.
