we see dell claims that message indicates your motherboard is not installed correctly.  what i read this to be is, you have an improper ground contact on the board.  maybe some piece of metal is making a connection, or the motherboard isn't screwed in all the way, or it's just failed.  

if there's any warranty left on it, they'll probably just replace the motherboard.  if not, a few things come to mind:

1. live with it
2. take apart the server completely, put it back together making sure there's no stray contact with the case/board
3. grab a new board
