The admin fixed the issue, he said the problem was with the bios, I have EMC version of the bios/server so he downloaded and flashed the relevant version. Everything work fine now.
System Services were enabled, iDrac is running on latest firmware and I updated Lifecycle Controller too.
I have to unplug the power because every time when I try to restart the server after unsuccessful enter to the "System Services" it's trying to go to the System Services again and it hangs.
I tried to disable the the System Services in iDrac and restart, then reenable, but it goes to the System Services again and it hangs again.
I was waiting more than hour to see if some message pops up, but nothing.
I have reset the iDrac and did the flea power. On the fist startup it showed the progress bar when it's loading the System Service and it hanged approx on 20%.
After the next restart it didn't showed the progress bar, just hangs.
Just wondering if I put the old firmware 1.8.2 back, will that solve the issue?
I downgraded the Lifecycle Controller Firmware to 1.5.1.57, but System service was not working. I tried do downgrade the Bios to 1.8.2. I ran the updater from Windows but after the restart I still had the 1.99. I repeated the process again with the System Services off but the Bios stayed untouched.

I included screenshots, not sure if that will make any difference.

I have updated the Lifecycle Controller with the repair package. Still the System Services are not working.
I had 1.5.1.11 before I updated to 1.7.5.4,can I roll back?
