What is Philips CT error code E171F?

System BIOS reported a PCIe fatal error on a component in a specific PCIe slot/bus/device/function. It is reported by the MND Extended Storage Server (Dell PowerEdge 2900 hardware) on Mobile Network Device (MND) Extended Storage Option CT systems. Severity: Alarm — critical, fatal PCIe error; subsystem: System Bus / PCI-PCIe I/O.

What should a field engineer do about E171F?

Remove and reseat the PCI expansion cards (see Troubleshooting Expansion Cards, p.81). If the problem persists, the system board is faulty — see Getting Help (p.10).. Isolate the System Bus / PCI-PCIe I/O subsystem and follow the status-code troubleshooting in the service manual. FSELIB documents the full diagnosis and remedy for the Mobile Network Device (MND) Extended Storage Option.
