Event Data 2

7:0 OEM code 2 or unspecified

For format rev 0, if this byte is specified, it contains the

 

 

PCI bus number on which the failing device resides. If the

 

 

source of the PCI error cannot be determined, this byte

 

 

contains 0xff and the event data 1 byte indicates that byte

 

 

2 is unspecified.

Event Data 3

7:0 OEM code 3 or unspecified.

For format rev 0, if this byte is specified, it contains the

 

 

PCI device/function address in the standard format:

 

 

7:3 Device number of the failing PCI device

 

 

2:0 PCI function number. Will always contain a zero if the

 

 

device is not a multifunction device.

 

 

If the source of the PCI error cannot be determined, this

 

 

byte contains 0xff and the event data 1 byte indicates that

 

 

byte 3 is unspecified.
