Purpose

When scanning error messages from any of the message files you will usually see the failing DIMM(s) being printed out for you, but when decoding a Red State Exception you won't have this luxury.

Debugging Red State Exceptions (w/ CE/UE errors) you must be able to manually decode the bad DIMM(s) from the AFSR and AFAR data given in the Red State Exception error output. This output is printed to the ttya port or the rsc console logs at the time of error.
