Knowledge Article: ID B0EA0D001: I/O module %d POST timeout.

Description

The specified I/O module is taking too long to complete POST.

Causes

During power on, the specified I/O Module is powered on and runs through the POST (power on self test).

Implications

When the POST takes longer than normal, this event is generated.

Resolutions

The I/O module may still be in the process of booting. Therefore, if you do not see a recovery message within 15 minutes, perform these steps:

1. Attempt to restart the I/O module, and specify the extended POST process to receive a more specific error code.
   
2. Perform a service-level reset of the I/O module, which restarts the I/O module.
   
3. Reinstall the same level of firmware
   
4. Replace the I/O module.
