Table 3. Mixed Processor Configurations
Error Severity System Action
Processor family not
Identical
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the system event log (SEL)
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an IPMI
command.
Does not disable the processor
Displays “0194: Processor family mismatch detected” message in
the error manager
Halts the system
Processor cache not
identical
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the SEL
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an IPMI
command.
Does not disable the processor
Displays “0192: Cache size mismatch detected” message in the
error manager
Halts the system
Processor frequency (speed)
not identical
Major The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Adjusts all processor frequencies to the lowest common
denominator
Continues to boot the system successfully
If the frequencies for all processors cannot be adjusted to be the
same, then the BIOS:
Logs the error into the SEL
Displays “0197: Processor speeds mismatched” message in the
error manager
Halts the system
Processor microcode
missing
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the SEL
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an IPMI
command.
Does not disable the processor
Displays “816x: Processor 0x unable to apply microcode update”
message in the error manager
Pauses the system for user intervention
Processor FSB speeds not
identical
Fatal The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the system event log (SEL)
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an IPMI
command.
Does not disable the processor
Displays “0195: Processor Front-side Bus speed mismatch
detected” message in the error manager
Halts the system
