Hi Peter
from note 2513.*
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 capacitor fco installed on
them and cures this problem.

opps this was never a fco only eco rolled into manufacturing
so a newer rev C04 backplane is the only way to cure the problem
that i know of.
