Force10 to Themis IPMI Issue

Question

I have a Themis server that runs integrated IPMI.  Everything works fine when the power is on, however when the power is off, my Force10 will not supply power to the port in order to remotely power on the server. If I plug directly into the server, I can access the IPMI. The config for the port is below interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/37 no ip address portmode hybrid switchport no shutdown The port is tagged in one vlan and untagged in another. Any help is appreciated!

The Dell Switch is a Force10 S4810 and the Themis server is RES-XR4-HD.  The IPMI does support remote power on and does not need POE to work.  I have plugged a regular household linksys switch and also directly into it and both work fine.  Its something that the S4810 is not powering on the port.

It gives me an error that the port is not in layer 3 mode.  I tried to disable switchport to assign an ip however it makes me remove the interface from both the tagged and untagged vlans. Both of which I need it to be in,
