3.3.10.2 Memory Error Reporting
Memory errors are reported through a variety of platform-specific elements, as described in this
section.
Platform Element Description
Event Logging When a memory error occurs at runtime, the BIOS will log the error into the system
event log in the BMC repository.
BIOS Diagnostic / Error
Screen
At the end of POST, memory errors found during MemBIST are reported in the
BIOS Error Manager.
Beep Codes The BIOS will emit a beep code for the cases where the system has no memory, or
when a link failure is detected during memory discovery, causing all memory to be
mapped out.
BIOS Setup Screen When FBDIMMs fail memory BIST, or RAS configuration errors occur, the FBDIMM
status is captured in the Advanced | Memory screen in BIOS setup.
DIMM Fault Indicator LEDs Intel
®
server boards and systems that use the Intel
®
5000 Series Chipsets have a
set of fault indicator LEDs on the board, one LED per DIMM socket. These LEDs
are used for indicating failed/faulty FBDIMMs.
System Fault/Status LEDs Intel
®
server boards and systems that use the Intel
®
5000 Series Chipsets provide
a specific LED on the front panel that indicates the state of the system. When a
memory error occurs such that the performance of the memory sub-system is
affected the BIOS will send a request to the BMC to light up the system fault LED.
NMI Generation The BIOS will trigger / initiate an NMI to halt the system when a critical error
occurs.
3.3.10.2.1 Memory Error Logging
Memory error logging involves the BIOS sending the BMC commands to log memory errors in
the system event log (SEL). These error formats are described by the Intelligent Platform
Management Interface Specification, v.2.0.
Sensor Type Sensor Type Code Offset Description
Memory 0x0C 0x08 Memory ECC Error
Memory 0x0C 0x09 Memory ECC Error
Event Data 1
0x20 Correctable ECC Error
0x21 Uncorrectable ECC Error
0x25 Correctable ECC Error Threshold Reached
Event Data 2
0xFF
Event Data 3
Bits[7:6] Index into SMBIOS Type16 entry for the system’s Memory Array Device. For Intel
®
server boards
and systems that use the Intel
®
5000 Series Chipsets this shall always be 0 to indicate that a single
on-board memory controller is present.
Bits [5:0] Index into SMBIOS Type17 record for the failed FBDIMM.
