Solved!
Go to SolutionPoweredge T110 - how to disable DRAC ?
I have several new T110 PEs that I am putting in service. They all pause for about 2 minutes on boot at "Initializing Remote Access Controller". I do not want / need DRAC support on these boxes. I looked in the CMOS settings, DRAC settings, and booted from the system management DVD and can't find anyway to disable the DRAC to make the machine not pause with every boot.
How do disable the DRAC so the machines boot right up?
Failing that, can I remove the DRAC?
Failing all else, can I set something to make it initialize quickly?
Thanks!

Same thing here, brand new T110 delivered today. Here is the fix: Downgrade the BMC from 1.54.xx to 1.50, here is how (if you don't have an OS installed):
1) Get a USB drive
2) Download the 1.5 version of the BMC:
file should be PET110BmcA03.exe, 7.2MB, extract
3) Follow these directions to create a bootable USB
4) Instructions for flashing:
1. copy the firmware image file, firmimg.d6, the DOS executable,bmcfwud.exe, and config file, bmcfwu.cfg, to a bootable USB key/floppy in the same directory. >>> Do this in step #3 above
2. boot off this media and execute "bmcfwud.exe" from the directory where the firmware image file exists. "-i" option can be used to specify the exact image path if not in the same directory.
3. Reboot the system to the same media as prompted.
4. Execute "bmcfwud.exe" again to complete the firmware update.
5. Reboot the system
HTH, Ben
