PCI Error Code Format

The following is an explanation of the encoded PCI error codes

Error codes are displayed on the screen as eight or sixteen digits as follows:

   DDDD DDS0 VVVVIIII
   ------+|| ---+---+
         |||    |   +--PCI Device ID
         |||    +------PCI Vendor Number
         ||+-Reserved (usually 0)
         |+PCI Slot Number (0 = System board)
         +-PCI Device Error


For example, PCI error code 005A210vvvviiii decodes as follows:

   005A 02   PCI device disabled due to Built-in Self Test failure
   1         The device is in PCI slot number one.
   0         Reserved.
   vvvv      Could be any number (PCI vendor ID)
   iiii      Could be any number (PCI device ID)

PCI Error Messages 
Error Message    FRU/Action
   PCI device(s) removed 1. One or more PCI add-in devices
   since last power up:     appears to have been removed since
   PCI vendor ID=xxxx, device     the last execution of POST
   ID=xxxx previously in slot x     This could be due to a catastrophic
      failure of the PCI device rather than its
      actual physical removal.
   PCI device(s) added 1. One or more PCI add-in devices
   since last power up:     appears to have been added since
   PCI vendor ID=xxxx, device     the last execution of POST
   ID=xxxx previously in slot x     It may have been moved from
      another slot. This is not an error.
      The device was enabled and had resources assigned.
   Unable to assign requested 1. A requested PCI resource (from the
   resources:     PCI Device Configuration Block) could not
   PCI vendor ID=xxxx, device     be assigned as requested due to a conflict
   ID=xxxx in slot x     with a non-PCI device or to a conflict with
      another requested PCI resource
