Waiting for BIOS POST completion from CIMC on server

When a blade will not complete discovery due to BIOS POST completion issues, the following fault will surface in the FSM tab of the server:
Waiting for BIOS POST completion from CIMC on server 4/6(FSM-STAGE:sam:dme:ComputeBladeDiscover:BiosPostCompletion)

The following steps can be taken to try and mitigate this error, or further determine if a hardware failure is causing this problem:
1. Physically remove and reinsert the blade into the same slot
2. Physically remove and reinsert the blade into a different slot
3. Physically reseat CMOS battery in the blade
4. Navigate to the server in UCSM -> Inventory tab, and select "Recover Corrupt BIOS Firmware"

5. BIOS jumper recovery, and
6. Attempt to boot the blade with a single DIMM, and single CPU to rule out any DIMM/CPU/socket failures
