HPMC Caused by a Multi-Bit Memory Parity Error
An HPMC interruption is forced when a multi-bit memory parity error is detected
during a “DMA read” operation of fetching an I/D cache line (32 bytes).
Table 4–7 shows an example of the HPMC error information retrieved from Stable
Storage by the PIM_INFO command during the Boot Administration environment.

Interpreting the Table
The values in the Bus Check and System Responder Address words indicate that a
multi-bit memory parity error was detected by logic in the memory module. Ignore
the value in the System Controller Status word.
The System Responder contains the SPA of the faulty SIMM pair. To determine the
pair, you need to know the following:
S
The SIMM pair sizes and their locations (for example, 16 MB SIMMs in Pair 1
and 8 MB Simms in Pair 0)
S
The total memory size in HEX
