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 when error processing is complete.

SERR/

16 mA

PCI

System Error is an open drain output that reports address
parity errors as well as critical errors other than parity.
