The ERA is included in every PowerEdge 2650. the ERA firmware is required for the Dell OpenManage products to work properly.
The HAPI error may be indicative of a hardware problem. If there is no added hardware, the only other thing I can think of which would cause this anomaly is the NVRAM is corrupted. We need to clear the NVRAM via the jumper on the motherboard, then enter the System BIOS and reset to the default settings.
Check the section on System Board Jumpers in the Service Manual:
Once this is complete, enter the System BIOS. Light the 3 keyboard LED's (Caps lock, Num lock and Scroll Lock). Hold the ALT key down and press the E key. The system should beep once. Then hold the ALT key down and press the F key.
Ensure the Scsi controller is still set to Raid. Turn off any unused peripherals such as the USB and serial ports. Then reboot the system.
