you have 3 ways:

- remove CPU1 and install terminator instead of CPU1;
- replace system board;
- "buy another server".

Thats what I've got from [link=http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?message=13870175&cat=53&thread=124935&treeDisplayType=threadmode1&forum=740#13870175]this[/link] website....

===================================================
The integrated VRM on the blade server I/O board has failed.

1. Replace the blade server cover, reinsert the blade server in the system chassis, and then restart the blade server..
2. Replace the I/O board.

- terminator in cpu 1 slot
