Hello I doubt the BMC or SCSI controller are the issue. Before handing off to a boot device the system BIOS loads firmware interfaces. That appears to be where the system is hanging, it is trying to load the firmware interface of the SATA controller that you installed. It sounds like the controller is incompatible or faulty. I suggest reviewing the slot specifications to make sure it meets the needs of the card that you inserted. [URL] Thanks
I have a PowerEdge 2850 (Service Tag: ) with a SCSI backplane.  I've recently decided to install a SATA RAID card so I can run 2 SSD's in a RAID1 for my OS, not using the SCSI at all.  The issue I'm having is that on boot, after POST, SATA RAID bios, DRAC bios, and IPMI Server Management Configuration Utility I get a display for the Baseboard Management Controller, it shows an autoconfig ip, netmask, gateway, then... "Press CTRL+E for BMC Setup."  That's where it hangs.  Will not proceed to load Windows Server 2003.  If I disconnect the SCSI controller from the backplane I make it one step further and get an error stating "SCSI cable not present on connector SCSI A of the primary SCSI backplane.  Invalid SCSI Config; SCSI cable not detected on controller SCSI B of the primary SCSI backplane, daughtercard present."  This happens even though i have SCSI disabled in my system BIOS.  The next prompt is Strike F1 to continue, F2 to run setup, but I only get a flashing cursor.  Neither F1 nor F2 works at that point, the keyboard completely locks up. I've used both USB and PS/2, neither responds.  At one point (I'm not even sure when) I was able to get one boot from the USB drive I'd inserted with Server 2003 but once it was forced to reboot in order to install the OS this issue began.  Im looking for any assistance that will allow me to bypass or disable the BMC and/or the SCSI controller ( I repeat: the SCSI controller IS set to OFF in the system bios.)  I considered removing the whole backplane but the front panel (power, usb, vga) connectors run through the backplane so that's out.  I just need to get the server to pass these checks and make it to Windows.... HELP! Note* My little LCD should be blue but is amber.  However the display is all banged up so all I can see is the color, no text.
