I had a PowerEdge R300 doing the same thing. I only had one hard drive in there, but the second SATA port was enabled. After I disabled the second SATA port everything worked fine.
I have a Poweredge 1900 Server and everytime the server needs a restart (e.g Windows Update) it asks to press F1 to continue. I work remotely and there is noone else in the office who is technical (on the other side of the UK), but why does it keep asking ... I dont want to use Remote Access! I have just tried (stepping a colleague through using FaceTime): * Finding an option in BIOS Setup to disable this ... nothing there * Finding an option in Remote Access Utility Setup to disable this ... nothing there * Setting up some values in RA Setup ... still asks to press F1 to continue, or F2 to setup What else can i try? I just want it to reboot without human interaction!! This is where it pauses, asking for user input....  [IMAGE]
