Description
A blade storage expansion unit has failed. This will typically result in a hard drive failure on the expansion board.
A blade expansion module (storage/hard drive expansion or PCI expansion) has failed. This will typically result in a hard drive failure or PCI card failure on the expansion board. This error is a fault on the BEM option and not necessarily on the attached devices.Causes
The blade expansion module fault sensor detects BEM failure.
Implications
The management module generates this event.
Resolutions
Note: If the voltage problem is occurring on all blade servers in the same power domain, the problem might be in one of the power modules that power that domain. Log in to the advanced management module to see the power modules that are associated with each power domain. Replace the power modules, one at a time, to see if the problem resolves.
