Fault Resilient Booting (FRB) Setup

Fault Resilient Booting (FRB) allows a multiprocessor system to boot in case the bootstrap processor
(BSP) fails.

FRB3 Timeout

FRB3 refers to the level of FRB in which a timer is started at system power up or hard reset. The
BIOS stops this timer in the power-on self test (POST) by asserting the FRB timer halt signal to the
Bus Management Controller (BMC). If the timer is not stopped, the BSP is disabled, the system is
reset and another processor becomes the BSP.

This edit box lets you set the FRB3 timeout in seconds. The range is 0 to 65535 seconds. The
recommended setting is 180 seconds.
