EkkE,

If you have no disks connected to this RAID controller, it will give you this error. If there is no intention of connecting any disks, probably my best advice is to remove the RAID controller from the server, obviously shutting down the system and reconfig the PCI etc.

Hi,

If it is F1 to continue only without any erro code then we can try following.

Re: ml350 startup problem

Hi,

Ohter option is
Certain ProLiant Servers Stop At The F1 Prompt During POST

Applies to: Rapid Deployment Pack - Windows Edition

ProLiant servers using RBSU 1.0 or earlier (System Config-based systems) do not have the ability to bypass the F1 prompt when the server is unconfigured.

To resolve this issue during a PXE-based boot, use RILOE, iLO, or the local console to press the F1 key. To resolve this issue during a diskette-based boot, use the SIGNDISK utility in the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit.
