PCI parity error on new R720

Recently took delivery of a new R720, was configuring the RAID setup via the iDRAC remotely via virtual console, and the system became unresponsive.  I tried reconnecting but was presented with the same frozen PERC config screen.  A power cycle was then needed, this happened twice.   On investigating the system log I found the following:

Both time the freeze happened after I tried to initialize the virtual disk in the PERC:

VDR32 Background initialization has started for Virtual Disk 0 on Integrated RAID Controller 1.

PCI1308 A PCI parity error was detected on a component at bus 0 device 5 function 0.

CPU9000 An OEM diagnostic event occurred.

Both freezes/lockup's had the same errors.


From reading around this the suggestions look to be reseat all PCI/PCI-E cards/devices and risers.

Anyone got any suggestions?  Or encountered this before?

Had figured that was the most likely cause, given it was the device in use (at point of error), and the network daughter card is screwed in.  And we don't have any other devices other than the DRAC its self.

You could try to reseat the PERC, maybe it got loose a bit during transport.
