POST Error Messages and Handling
The POST Error Manager displays error messages reported by the system BIOS during POST. The system
BIOS truncates the 32-bit EFI POST Progress Code associated with the error to 16-bit values for display in the
POST Error Manager.
The POST Error Manager behavior in response to the error is defined by the error severity reported by the BIOS.
Errors are categorized in one of three severity levels. The system behavior in response to severity level of:
 Fatal
The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
The BIOS logs an error message to the BMC System Event Log (SEL).
The BIOS unconditionally enters POST Error Manager to display error message.
The BIOS halts the system to prevent boot.
