Intel® Server Board S2600CW Family TPS  Intel® Server Board S2600CW Functional Architecture 
Revision 2.4     
Identical 
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows: 
  Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL. 
  Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady 
Amber. 
  Displays 0196: Processor model mismatch detected 
message in the Error Manager. 
  Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until 
the fault condition is remedied. 
Processor cores/threads not 
identical 
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows: 
  Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL. 
  Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady 
Amber. 
  Displays 0191: Processor core/thread count mismatch 
detected message in the Error Manager. 
  Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until 
the fault condition is remedied. 
identical 
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows: 
  Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL. 
  Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady 
Amber. 
  Displays 0192: Processor cache size mismatch detected 
message in the Error Manager. 
  Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until 
the fault condition is remedied. 
Processor frequency (speed) 
not identical 
The BIOS detects the processor frequency difference, and 
responds as follows: 
  Adjusts all processor frequencies to the highest common 
frequency. 
  No error is generated – this is not an error condition. 
  Continues to boot the system successfully. 
 
If the frequencies for all processors cannot be adjusted to be the 
same, then this is an error, and the BIOS responds as follows: 
  Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL. 
  Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady 
Amber. 
  Does not disable the processor. 
  Displays 0197: Processor speeds unable to synchronize 
message in the Error Manager. 
  Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until 
the fault condition is remedied.
