PERR/

S/T/S

16 mA PCI

Parity Error may be pulsed active by an agent that
detects a data parity error. PERR/ can be used by any
agent to signal data corruption. However, on detection
of a PERR/ pulse, the central resource may generate a
nonmaskable interrupt to the host CPU, which often
implies the system is unable to continue operation once
error processing is complete.

SERR/

16 mA PCI

System Error is an open drain output is used to report
address parity errors.
