1. Assert NMI on SERR
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
On SERR, generate an NMI and log an error.
Note: [Enabled] must be selected for the Assert NMI on PERR setup option to be visible.
Comments: This option allows the system to generate an NMI when an SERR 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. Reset on ERR2
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
When enabled system gets reset upon encountering ERR2 (Fatal error); when disabled system
does not get reset on ERR2
Comments: 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
