Knowledge Article: ID B00028000: Blade power fault.

Description

A power fault exists for the specified blade server.

Causes

The voltage sensor in the specified blade server detects a power fault.

Implications

The management module generates this event.

Resolutions

If the call home to IBM was successful, you can expect a service call from IBM. In the meantime, perform these steps:

1. If the over voltage problem is occurring on multiple blade servers, look for other events in the log related to power and resolve those events. See the IBM Support Web page for service bulletins related to troubleshooting power issues.
2. If this event is isolated to a single blade server, replace the system board (trained service technician only).
