Hi

We have a Dell server.

The problem we are having is that if it restarts overnight after downloading updates it doesn't go past the first screen unless you press the F1 key.

The message at the bottom is something like:-

PRESS CTRL+E FOR BMC SETUP WITHIN 5 SECONDS
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE OR F3 TO RUN SETUP.

Any ideas on why this has just started happening?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's a poweredge 830 and the keyboard is plugged in as when you press F1 it starts booting up :confused:

I don't remember seeing any messages out of the ordinary but I will grab a pic of the screen this evening.
