You may try a flea power drain and clear NVRAMto start with:
drain flea power (shut down, disconnect power cables and Network cables, hold in power button 20 seconds with cords removed).After flea power drain, system has to set for 3 minutes for DRAC to reset without any power plugged in, then plug in NIC and power but wait 2 minutes before power on to give DRAC time to initialize.
Clear NVRAM - there is a map under the lid to show the jumper location. Shut down,Set jumper to the Clear position, power on and Post up to the jumper error, shut down and return jumper to original location.
Similar thread you may check out recommendation and check what Rey says -If the system still doesn't boot from the USB key, either something is wrong with the key or the iso download was corrupted:

Hello pwilson82,

Next thing Make sure USB ports are enabled : https://dell.to/3jIKL1i
Other steps to try:
*Try front and rear USB slot
*Try a different USB
*Try an 8G or 4G USB
*Try different Boot mode: BIOS and UEFI
