Should a major memory initialization error occur, preventing the system from booting with data integrity, a
beep code is generated, the MRC displays a fatal error code on the diagnostic LEDs, and a system halt
command is executed. Fatal MRC error halts do NOT change the state of the System Status LED and do NOT
get logged as SEL events. The following table lists all MRC fatal errors displayed to the diagnostic LEDs.
Note: Fatal MRC errors will display POST error codes that may be the same as BIOS POST progress codes
displayed later in the POST process. The fatal MRC codes can be distinguished from the BIOS POST
progress codes by the accompanying memory failure beep code of 3 long beeps as identified in
Table 15.
