Intel® Server System S7000FC4UR TPS Operating System Boot, Sleep, and Wake
Revision 1.0

The BIOS installs a default NMI handler to respond to NMI events during POST including the
EFI Shell environment. This handler detects the NMI source and displays an error message as
described in the table below before halting the system.
Operating systems typically install their own NMI handler at boot. Operating system response to
NMI events is therefore vendor specific.
