Unknown could be because the blade is inoperative.
Are the all slots unknown or just one slot/blade?

Can you ssh into that bad slot and check its current state?
 ssh slotX
Example:
 ssh slot1

If now, can you try to power off and power on that blade using a console or from the command line of working/running blade?
 bladectl -p 0 -b 

For example:
 bladectl -p 0 -b 1  <--- to off slot1
 bladectl -p 1 -b 1  <--- to on slot1
