Table 4. Mixed Processor Configurations
Error Severity System Action
Processor family not
Identical
Halt The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the error into the system event log (SEL)
 Lights the front panel system fault LED
 Lights the CPU fault LEDs
 Does not disable the processor
 Displays “0194: Processor family mismatch detected”
message in the error manager
 Halts the system
Processor cache not
identical
Halt The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the error into the SEL
 Lights the front panel system fault LED
 Lights the CPU fault LEDs
 Does not disables the processor
 Displays “0192: Cache size mismatch detected” message in
the error manager
 Halts the system
Processor frequency (speed)
not identical
Pause The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows
 Adjusts all processor frequencies to lowest common
denominator
 Logs the error into the SEL
 Displays “0197: Processor speeds mismatched” message in
the error manager
 Pauses the system for user intervention
If the frequencies for all processors cannot all 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
 Pauses the system for user intervention
Processor microcode
missing
Pause The BIOS detects error condition and responds as follows:
 Logs the error into the SEL
 Lights the front panel system fault LED
 Lights the CPU fault LEDs
 Does not disables processor
 Displays “816x: Processor 0x unable to apply microcode
update” message in the error manager
 Pauses the system for user intervention
