Dell poweredge R210 :: Voltage Sensor Events
As i ran the system diagnostics on the Dell poweredge R210 server , came across voltage sensor issue .
Description :
Error Code :: 2900:0221
Msg :IPMI - system board :: Voltage sensor [0.75 CPU VTT PG] state asserted "System Board "
This indicated that The voltage specified by is in critical state .
Before running the diagnostics , i was facing the issue that server shuts down automatically . the only way to boot is unplug the power cable and pulg it again.
As guided by the Dell support Team , i tried with changing RAM's which worked for some time , then again server shuts down .
Would like to know what can be done over this Voltage sensor issue .

How can I clear the event log system / hardware to get rid of the error 2900? I'm having a similar problem: en.community.dell.com/.../19517303.aspx

Hello sankett
1900 and 2900 errors are hardware log events. The first thing the diagnostic utility does is check the BMC/iDRAC logs for errors. If it locates any errors it will report them as 1900 or 2900 errors and stop. You will need to clear the system/hardware event log to get rid of the 2900 error and complete the testing.
I think the voltage errors are a symptom of the problem and not the cause. It is normal for the server to log voltage errors during unexpected shutdowns. You can verify this by checking to see if the voltage errors are logged at the time of the unexpected shutdown. If it is logged at the time you are unplugging the power cable then that is normal. If the errors are occurring at times other than when you are pulling the power cord then they could be an indication of a power issue in the system.
Thanks
