Question

Hi,

I have a new M710 and by mistake i i selected the option in the BIOS screen to start system services. Now i cannot get rid of this message after the BIOS posts it goes to this screen

Any idea how do i get back to the normal boot process. I have tried both cold and warm boots.

Thanks

Try clearing the nvram settings, the jumpers are between the memory slots and the power supply connectors.

NVRAM_CLR			Pins 3 and 5 (default)	The configuration settings are retained at system boot.
			Pins 1 and 3	The configuration settings are cleared at the next system boot. If the configuration settings become corrupted to the point where the system will not boot, install the jumper and boot the system. Remove the jumper before restoring the configuration information.

Unfortunately this doesnt work. I am not able to cancel these as there is no way to save it. I did a gif of what happened but i cannot upload it with this pathetic website. So many buggy issues with this servers, i am frustrated out of my mind.

is yours an M710 as well? (btw, released in 2010) does the system stop booting there? Does it allow you to go into the F2 screen? #iwork4Dell

My server is a Poweredge m910. I am not sure what generation it is. I only recently deployed it and it is giving me tons of grief. The Poweredge m910 is a blade server , which is housed in the Dell M1000e chassis.

The only command available that i saw was control e through my java 6 console....at least that works...as it would not in the latest java.

So many niggly issues where i cannot solve them. Upgrading issues,
