Dell poweredge T20 will not post
I have a dell poweredge T20 that I just did the BIOS update version a05 to version a11 then it rebooted when it completed then it would not boot afterwards. I have tried disconnecting all external devices that did not work I tried service mode pin, CMOS reset, removing all ram except the dimm in slot 1 that did not work.

Hello
If the system will not complete POST after the steps you have performed then parts will need to be replaced. The most likely part would be the system board since the issue started after a BIOS update.
Resetting the system BIOS on our servers must be completed by using the jumper. Removing the CMOS battery only resets the system clock. I would make sure that you take the system to minimum to POST by removing all unnecessary components, drain flea power, and clear NVRAM via jumper. If you are sure you have performed all of those steps correctly then the next step would be parts replacement.
Thanks
