System managment interrupt (SMI) initialization

I have a problem with my server. Dell PowerEdge T610. It is stack before it's anything on the display. I just try to clean the server from dust, of course shut the power down, and pull power cables out, but I didn't wait for the electric charge run out. Then I try to power it on, but I have only two massages on the blue display first is "System booting" and when I press "i" it shows: "System Management Interrupt (SMI) initialization". What is mean? It is a process, and I just should to wait for it or it is something to "reset".
Thanks in advance for help, and sorry for my english.

Michu-87,
 
 
What you are seeing is an interrupt error due to the BIOS failing to initialize the system management interrupt. What I would recommend is that you power down the server, remove the power cables, hold the power button for 20 seconds, then open the cover an locate the NVRAM_CLR jumper and move the jumper over as seen on the underside of the server cover. Then after that then reinstall the power cables and power up to clear the nvram. Once cleared go ahea dna power down, remove power cables, then hpld power button again, then restore the jumper to its original location. Once you have completed those steps then reinstall the power cables again, but do not power the server for a couple minutes to allow the iDrac to initialize. Then try powering the server and see if the error is resolved. 

Let me know if this helps.
