2.2.4.3 PCI-Express* Errors
Errors are classified into three types:
Correctable
Uncorrectable
Fatal
These error types are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
2.2.4.3.1 Correctable Errors
Correctable errors are corrected by the hardware such as single bit ECC
2.2.4.3.2 Uncorrectable Errors
Uncorrectable errors are not corrected by hardware or software. Operating system or other
software layers may be able to recover. However, this may not always be the case. These
errors leave the system in a functional state. An example is a multi-bit data error in an
application. The application may crash but the system can continue.
2.2.4.3.3 Fatal Errors
Fatal errors may compromise the system integrity. An example of a fatal error is a protocol
error. Errors detected by the PCI Expanders are routed to the MCH via in-band messages. The
MCH can assert MCERR# or ERR [2:0] (if configured to do so) upon receiving an error
message or detecting an error, itself.
2.2.4.4 PCI-Express* Hot-plug Support
PCI-Express* hot-plug is the concept of removing a standard PCI-Express* adapter card from a
system without stopping the software or powering down the system as a whole.
The main board supports four hot plug capable PCI-Express* slots off the two PCI-Express*
Expander components (IDT* 89HPES24N3A). The following slots are hot pluggable
Slot 1
Slot 2
The hot-plug implementation conforms to the PCI-Express* Base Specification, Revision 1.1.
