2513.0. "SABLE I/O Parity Error" by ATZIS2::PUTZENLECHNE (wherever is fun, there's always ALPHA) Fri Feb 07 1997 07:26

    Hi!
    
    Attached is an errorlog-entry (Decevent) from VMS on a SABLE
    
    It is a T2-PCI Parity Error.
    Is it possible to isolate the failing PCI-Card by these
    Errorlog? If so can somebody help me?
    
    Thanks in advance
    
    Helmut

2513.1pci addr/write parity errors RM'sCSC32::HUTMACHERFri Feb 07 1997 16:2112
    Hi Helmut
    
    if this alphaserver2100 and is a Rackmount then problem is likely 
    the cpu backplane. this is where the t2 bridge chip lives on rackmount 
    system and we have been seeing alot of rackmounts systems crashing with
    pci write parity errors .or. pci address parity errors intermittently.
    ends up that some cbus cpu backplanes rev C03 have noisey pci address
    lines. the newer rev C04 54-22601-01 have a capicator fco installed on
    them and cures this problem.
