mismatch is detected, then the default action after logging the SEL entry is to reset the system.
The BIOS setup utility provides an option to disable or enable system reset by the BMC for
detection of this condition.
4.3.4.5 CATERR Sensor
The BMC supports a CATERR sensor for monitoring the system CATERR signal.
The sensor is rearmed on power-on (AC or DC power on transitions). It is not rearmed on
system resets in order to avoid multiple SEL events that could occur due to a potential reset
loop if the CATERR keeps recurring, which would be the case if the CATERR was due to an
MSID mismatch condition.
On EPSD boards, the CATERR signal from each CPU are tied together and routed to the BMC
as one signal. When the BMC detects that this aggregate CATERR signal has asserted, it can
then go through PECI to query each CPU to determine which one was the source of the error
and write an OEM code identifying the CPU slot into an event data byte in the SEL entry. If
PECI is non-functional (it isn’t guaranteed in this situation), then the OEM code should indicate
that the source is unknown.
