6.11 BIOS Error Logging
BIOS supports the following methods to report errors:
 SMBIOS error logging
 IPMI event logging
 Error logging to the console
6.11.1 Runtime Error Logging
BIOS supports Runtime Error Logging for memory and PCI errors. These errors are logged at
BIOS Setup Advanced >> Runtime Error Logging. Errors are logged to the IPMI controller and to
the SMBIOS event log.
The Runtime Error Logging can be enabled or disabled. If enabled, the PCI Error Logging can be
enabled or disabled separately.
For correctable memory error logging, there are two additional parameters to prevent the
flooding of the event logs. The parameters are:
 Error Threshold - Correctable memory errors are logged when the threshold is reached.
The first correctable memory error is always logged.
 Error Logging Limit - The number of logged correctable memory errors for a DIMM is
limited. If the last entry in the log is SMBIOS: Correctable memory log disabled and IPMI:
Memory event Correctable ECC logging limit reached, no further correctable errors are
logged for this DIMM.
