Hello Some of our servers have an option in the BMC or System BIOS to enable or disable (F1) stop on error. I reviewed the BIOS settings for the 2950 and did not see that option. You can try clearing the system event/hardware log and restarting the system. You may want to view the system event log before clearing it to see if any other errors are reported. I think the commands to clear and restart would be something like this: racadm clrselracadm serveraction powercycle You can verify the correct syntax in the racadm CLI guide. It should be on the support page of OpenManage Server Administrator. The last version of OMSA I show supported on the 2950 is 7.4, so I would look on the support page of OMSA 7.4. [URL] If clearing the log does not resolve the issue then you are probably going to need to locate the server. There may be some other issue keeping the system from booting and the DRAC embedded web server from working. Thanks
