2.2.2  Example of Decoding a PCI Express* Correctable Error Events 
The following is an example of decoding a PCI Express* correctable error event. For this particular event it recorded a receiver error 
on Bus 0, Device 2, and Function 2. Note that correctable errors are acceptable and normal at a low rate of occurrence.
