Knowledge Article: ID B0A034C00: I/O board 5V under recommended voltage.

Description

Voltage of I/O board power supply whose nominal output is +5V drops down under recommended voltage.

Causes

There could be a variety of causes that could influence the voltage to exceed a high threshold or fell below a low threshold:
"        obstructed airflow
"        bad component such as IO card, voltage regulator module, Blade expansion unit, etc.
"        bad power supply
"        AC outlet not supplying the correct voltage and current

Implications

A voltage event occurs when the state of a system voltage sensor changes with respect to a manufacturer-defined threshold. The cause of the voltage problem should be identified and addressed at the earliest opportunity.

Resolutions

It is possibly a hardware problem of the I/O board, if no functional problems exist with the blade then this log can be ignored.
