BIOS Error Handling ESB2 BMC Core TPS
Revision 1.0
Intel order number E18291-001
228
This uncorrectable error message is propagated upstream to the root port and signaled as an
SERR in the PCI Status register on the primary side of bridge device. Our PCI error handler
detects the PERR event on the downstream device and an SERR event on the primary side of
the bridge and all upstream agents to the root port.
The server system does not support embedded PCI Express to PCI-X* bridges or PCI-X slots.
The only case in which this situation might be encountered is for a PCI Express* adapter card
using a PCI Express* to PCI-X* bridge onboard the adapter with a PCI-X* device behind the
bridge. This is quite common in early generation PCI Express* devices.
PCI Express* correctable error messages are not reported by the BIOS. These errors are
scrubbed by chipset and/or device hardware and there is no need to report them in the absence
of any frequency monitoring software that provides fault prediction analysis.
19.2.2.5 Sensor Events/Errors
The BMC manages sensors. It can receive event messages from individual sensors and logging
system events.
19.2.3 System Event Logging (SEL) Format Conventions
The BIOS complies with the logging format defined in the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface Specification, Version 2.0. See Table 32-1, SEL Event Records. This section
describes the format used by the BIOS to create SEL entries for reporting certain system errors
and events.
The following table indicates standard header fields common to all SEL entries that the BIOS
logs:

Record ID ID used for SEL record access. The BMC logs unique Record ID.
3 Record Type Bit[7:0] = Record Type
 02h = system event record
 C0h–DFh = OEM, Byte 8-16
 E0h–FFh = OEM, Byte 4-16
The BIOS sends this to the BMC:
