I challenge for me is how to do this without and IDRAC (express or enterprise) on the R510.
From searching older threads on this forum, i reached the conclusion that Dell no longer has a non iDRAC (express or integrated) way to run the 'lifecycle controller repair package", i.e. there is no way to burn an ISO file/image and run something off the DVD or USB drive at startup.
The solution for me was to redo the firmware update using the Dell Repository Manager - just for the R510. During the deploy step, when creating the iso package, click the box that says (overwrite) even if firmware levels are the same. I flashed this ISO to a USB using Rufus and redid my update and requested reboot, and magically the F10 System Services option returned to the POST page and i could get to the System Services DELL GUI.
Note that the R510 package i used the first time i just downloaded from the dell site and perhaps the download manager version is different.

Bob,
Thanks for the reply. Got it about the LCC.
