5. Error Reporting and Handling
This chapter defines following error handling features:
• Error Handling and Logging
• Error Messages and Beep Codes
5.1 Error Handling and Logging
This section defines how errors are handled by the system BIOS. In addition, error-logging
techniques are described and beep codes for errors are defined.
5.1.1 Error Sources and Types
One of the major requirements of server management is to correctly and consistently handle
system errors. System errors that can be enabled and disabled individually or as a group can be
categorized as follows:
• PCI bus
• Memory single- and multi-bit errors
• Errors detected during POST, logged as POST errors
The event list follows:
