Hardware Error Table example and field description:
TYPE Range 1-nn. Indicates which hardware assembly detected an error or failed to
perform a function. See Table 5-3.
SLOT
Where applicable, shows slot number in which the PCA was installed when the
error was reported.
CHNL Indicates the number of the failed channel.
☞
For Error #24 only, CHNL 1 refers to unit 1
CHNL 2 refers to unit 2
PRIO
Indicates the priority level of the hardware error being reported. Each type of
hardware error has been assigned an error priority level. Priority levels range
from 0 to 3, with 0 being the lowest level and 3 the highest. Higher priority
hardware errors overwrite lower priority errors if the Hardware Error Table is
full. The most recent error of a lower priority is overwritten first. Always correct
the highest priority errors first.
