Compaq DL380 requesting F1 to continue when rebooting normal. How do I stop this from occurring?

This is to alert you of a problem during POST. Did you receive any errors or warnings during POST?

If you use a System Partition:

Go into the F10 partition
First screen press CTRL A
- this will bring up a dialogue asking about ADVANCED MODE
Press enter to agree
Go to Sys. Config -> config Hardware -> Review and Modify -> View and Edit Details. PAGE DOWN twice
F1 Boot Prompt = Disable it by hitting ENTER
Save (F10) and exit

If you use the RBSU:

Hit F9 at boot and go down to Advanced Options on the first screen you will see an entry called "POST F1 Prompt".

Disable it and you won't get prompted again.

Hope this helps! -john
