19.3.3 POST Error Manager Messages and Handling

The system BIOS truncates the 32-bit EFI POST Progress Code associated with the error to 16-
bit values for display in the POST Error Manager.
The POST Error Manager behavior in response to the error is defined by the error severity
reported by the BIOS. Errors are categorized in one of three severity levels. The system
behavior in response to severity level of fatal, major, or minor
