Dell Poweredge T320 does not automatically boot

Question

All,

I got an used Dell T320 server with 8 hot swappable drives. I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 server on this machine with single HDD. I have disable RAID. When I powercycle the machine, it stops at a screen saying:

"Dell Serial ATA AHCI Bios Version 1.0.2" . If press Enter multiple times or press F11 to goto UEFI boot menu and select HDD manually, it boots. I have updated firmware, BIOS etc to latest versions. Still the problem does not go away. Any help in this regards is welcome.

regards,

Ravi

Can you check boot sequence in BIOS and ensure it is correct and first boot device is set to the correct drive?

Thanks for the reply. I have done a 'post' debug by removing all connected devices. Seems like keyboard is the culprit though it was working fine after boot. I have changed the keyboard to a new one. It started booting. I will test this further. regards, Ravi
