PowerEdge T620 Won't Boot through BIOS
Hello all,
I have a Dell PowerEdge T620 that is giving me fits. Whenever I try to boot, I get errors saying "PCIe Training Error: Embedded NIC 1". Looking around, various people have said that I should reseat the cards in the PCIe slots. Done, no difference at all. I also cannot get into BIOS to try to disable NIC 1, as the system continues booting to the error when I hit F2, F10, F11, or F12. Any suggestions?

JMcReynolds,
I would first start with clearing the NVRam. Power down the server and open the cover for the server. Locate the NVRAM_CLR jumper on the motherboard (shown below), move the jumper over and apply power.Once powered it will clear the NVRam, once completed then power the server down and then restore the jumper to its original location.
Once you have restored the jumper, then attempt to access the BIOS (F2) and then disable the embedded nic 1 to see if error clears.
Let me know what you see.

Same error, no difference at all. I let it boot long enough for the "Configuring memory" screen to disappear and the "Initializing iDRAC" screen to appear. I then shut it down, replaced the jumper, and restarted. Same error. Still won't let me enter BIOS.
