Probable Cause

Indicates that a field-replaceable unit (FRU) has failed the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
Refer to the /tmp/post[1/2].slot#.log file for more information on the faults.

Recommended Action

On bladed systems, reseat the specified FRU.
On nonbladed switches, restart or power cycle the switch.
If the problem persists, perform the following actions:
•Execute the diagPost command to make sure that Power-On Self-Test (POST) is enabled; then power cycle the blade using the slotPowerOff and slotPowerOn commands or have the blade's ejector switch cycled to run POST and verify that the blade does not have any hardware problems.
•On bladed systems, replace the specified FRU; otherwise replace the switch.
