Cause: This fault is caused by a hardware failure on the motherboard.
Solution:
Attempt following troubleshooting steps:
1. Reset CIMC
2. Physically reseat server in chassis
Note: If the above actions do not resolve issue and blade still does not power on, it is likely there is a hardware failure.
3. Contact Cisco TAC for part replacement.
