Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS BIOS Setup Utility
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. PCIe AER Support
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
[Enabled] PCIe AER (Advanced Error Reporting) is enabled.
[Disabled] PCIe AER is disabled. All PCIe AER errors will be masked once PCIe AER is
disabled.
Comments: This option allows the system to monitor and handle PCIe AER errors on PCIe
devices with PCIe AER support. But as PCIe AER is described in PCI Express Base Specification, any
third-party software or OS could override this BIOS policy and take ownership of PCIe AER handling
after BIOS POST.

4. Log Correctable Errors
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
[Enabled] Processor & PCH PCIe correctable error logging is enabled.
[Disabled]Processor & PCH PCIe correctable error logging is disabled.
Comments: This option allows the system to monitor and handle PCIe correctable errors on
PCIe devices behind Processor and PCH.

5. 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.
