42-3 for the event.
15 Event Data 2
(ED2)
Bit [7:0]
OEM value or unspecified
The BIOS sends this to the BMC:
For PCI PERR and SERR events:
PCI bus number on which the
reporting device resides
If the error handler is unable to
determine the PCI address of the
device reporting the error, then ED1
reports ED2 as unspecified and ED2
contains 0xFF.
For Fatal NMI events:
0xFF = ED2 unspecified
16 Event Data 3
(ED3)
Bit [7:0]
OEM value or unspecified
The BIOS sends this to the BMC:
For PCI PERR and SERR events:
PCI device and function address of the
reporting device in the following format:
If the error handler is unable to determine
the PCI address of the device reporting the
error, then ED1 reports ED3 as unspecified
and ED3 contains 0xFF.
Bit[7:3] - Device number of the
reporting PCI device
Bit[2:0] - Function number. (Will
always contain a zero if the device is
not a multifunction device.)
For Fatal NMI events:
0xFF = ED2 unspecified
The following examples are provided to clarify SEL entry Event Data values for various events.

Error Type Event Data 1 Event Data 2 Event Data 3
PCI PERR, failing device is not known 0x04 0xFF 0xFF
PCI SERR, failing device is not known 0x05 0xFF 0xFF
PCI PERR on PCI Bus 5, Device 3, Function 1 0xA4 0x05 0x19
Bit[7:3] = 03
Bit[2:0] = 01
PCI SERR on PCI Bus 0 with device and function unknown 0x85 0x00 0xFF
Software NMI generated by SMI handler on fatal error 0x09 0xFF 0xFF
