Functional Architecture			Intel® Compute Module MFS2600KI TPS
		Table 2. Mixed Processor Configurations
	Error	Severity	System Action
	Processor family not	Fatal	The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
	Identical
			 Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL).
			 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
			 Displays “0194: Processor family mismatch detected”
			message in the Error Manager.
			 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the
			fault condition is remedied.
	Processor model not	Fatal	The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
	Identical
			 Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL).
			 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
			 Displays “0196: Processor model mismatch detected”
			message in the Error Manager.
			 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the
			fault condition is remedied.
	Processor cores/threads not	Fatal	The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
	identical
			 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
			 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
			 Displays “0191: Processor core/thread count mismatch
			detected” message in the Error Manager.
			 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the
			fault condition is remedied.
	Processor cache not	Fatal	The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
	identical
			 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
			 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
			 Displays “0192: Processor cache size mismatch detected
			message in the Error Manager.
			 Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the
			fault condition is remedied.
	Processor frequency (speed)	Fatal	The BIOS detects the processor frequency difference, and responds
	not identical
			as follows:
			 Adjusts all processor frequencies to the highest common
			frequency.
			 No error is generated – this is not an error condition.
			 Continues to boot the system successfully.
			If the frequencies for all processors cannot be adjusted to be the
			same, then this is an error, and the BIOS responds as follows:
			 Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
			 Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
			 Does not disable the processor.
			 Displays “0197: Processor speeds unable to synchronize”
			message in the Error Manager.
			Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
			condition is remedied.
