INCREMENTAL DECODING INFORMATION: PROCESSOR FAMILY WITH 

CPUID DISPLAYFAMILY_DISPLAYMODEL SIGNATURE 06_3EH, MACHINE 

ERROR CODES FOR MACHINE CHECK

Intel Xeon processor E5 v2 family and Intel Xeon processor E7 v2 family are based on the Ivy Bridge-EP microar-
chitecture and can be identified with CPUID DisplayFamily_DisplaySignature 06_3EH. Incremental error codes for 
internal machine check error from PCU controller is reported in the register bank IA32_MC4, Table  lists model-
specific fields to interpret error codes applicable to IA32_MC4_STATUS. Incremental MC error codes related to the 
Intel QPI links are reported in the register banks IA32_MC5. Information listed in Table 16-14 for QPI MC error code 
apply to IA32_MC5_STATUS. Incremental error codes for the memory controller unit is reported in the register 
banks IA32_MC9-IA32_MC16. Table 16-18 lists model-specific error codes apply to IA32_MCi_STATUS, i = 9-16.
