I moved your post to a new thread, as I didn't really see the relevance to the thread you posted on. Updating the BIOS/ESM also would have no effect on your server stopping at F1/F2.  F1/F2 means that there is a misconfiguration of "some" kind.  It could be failed/failing hardware or simply something not set correctly in the BIOS.  Nine times out of ten, this error (when not accompanied at some point during POST by another error message) appears because a SATA drive is turned ON in the BIOS, but there is nothing actually physically connected to that port.  Look for anything listed in the BIOS as "unknown".  Check the SATA ports - if there are any turned ON, then turn it off.
Hello [NAME]  I upgrade BIOS and ESM using your links and the boot order is first hd... but the message Strike F1 to Continue.....  still remains what else should i do?  My Server is a T300 POWEREDGE Windows Server 2008 R2
