ABSTRACT:
Fault resilient booting of complex multi-rail processors in an information handling system insures that all processor voltage rails are functioning properly before any processor fetches operating software code. In addition, the information handling system will automatically reboot when one or more of the processors fail during either a built-in self test (BIST) or a power failure provided that there is at least one good processor remaining in the information handling system to power-on self-test (POST) the information handling system again.
