Description

Error indicator and assembly of central processing unit
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of underlying control, and more particularly, to an error indicator and assembly for a central processing unit.
Background
If the server uses an Intel CPU, the Intel CPU has a signal of CATERR 1 bit and ERROR3 bit to represent that the processor has an ERROR. According to Intel's platform design guidelines, CATERR is an I/O signal indicating that the system has suffered a catastrophic error and is unable to continue operation, and typically a red LED is provided on the board to indicate the error. And ERROR _ N [ 2: the 0 signal indicates various ERRORs from the processor I/O, ERROR _ N [0] indicates correctable, ERROR _ N [1] uncorrectable non-fatal ERRORs and ERROR _ N [2] fatal ERRORs. The board does not have an LED to indicate. If these errors occur, the system is quite unstable.
In the prior art, signals of different CPUs are connected together, so if a CATERR or an ERROR occurs, which CPU has an ERROR cannot be known, the direction is unclear, and if a CPU is to be debugged, cross verification is often required, or one change is required, which CPU has a problem can be identified, which is really time-consuming. It is not possible to make a statistic as to whether the relevant errors are concentrated on a specific location of the CPU. Furthermore, the fault is monitored by the BMC, so that a remote person cannot know which CPU is in a problem, and detailed monitoring cannot be provided. In addition, at present, an LED is used for displaying when the CATERR occurs, and ERROR does not exist, so that the method is inconvenient for users or research personnel.
Aiming at the problems of difficult positioning and lack of visual prompt of CPU error reporting in the prior art, no effective solution is available at present.
