This MX has a Minor alarm for fpc and it looks xmchip errors log consistently showing up in the logs.
The following log messages are seen on the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC):

The message "Misc SRAM Protect: Parity error for dequeue buffer SRAM" reports a temporary hardware memory error.This is due to a transient SRAM hardware error on the XMCHIP. If there was a service impact, then other events would be reported.
Please perform these steps to determine the cause and resolve the problem (if any). Continue through each step until the problem is resolved.
Collect the show command output.
1.Capture the output to a file (in case you have to open a technical support case). To do this, configure each SSH client/terminal emulator to log your session.2.show log messages3.show log chassisd4.start shell network pfe <fpc#> show nvram show syslog messages show cmerror module brief <<< pick up X for xmchip0 show cmerror module X error 0x070359 exit

Analyze the show command output.
In the 'show log messages', review the events that occurred at or just before the appearance of the "XMCHIP_CMERROR_WI_MISC_SRAM_PAR_PROTECT_FSET_REG_DETECTED_DEQ_IBUF_SRAM" message. Frequently these events help identify the cause.
No RMA is required with a single occurrenceWith a single occurrence, the alarm can be cleared using the following command: clear chassis fpc errors fpc-slot <x> all
#According to the technical documentation on clear chassis fpc errors , this command is supported on Junos starting from 18.2R1.
If the error occurs multiple times, please restart the FPC during a maintenance window with a spare part on-site in case ithe fpc cannot boot up.
user@router> request chassis fpc slot <slot number> restart
Wait for a few minutes.
