Dell M610 always Boots into BIOS.
The other day I used the CMC in my M1000e to boot all of the blades (M610) into system services. This didn't work as expected, it actually booted them into the BIOS, however, if I hit the escape key it would then load system services.
Anyways, fast forward a week and I can't get these systems to stop booting into the BIOS now. I've tried changing the boot order with the CMC multiple times, I've reset the BIOS to factory defaults, cleared the NVRAM, and even did a LifeCycle Controller Wipe (winrm LCWipe).

Hello
The boot settings in the CMC override the BIOS settings on the blades. Page 104 of the CMC manual explains the CMC boot settings. I would suggest that you make sure that the boot order and next boot device are set correctly in the CMC. If the CMC is not saving changes then make sure it is at the latest firmware. If the issue persists then fail over the CMC.
