Hi Paul:


Did you set the options in the bios. Boot to the SCU or F10 partion and make sure that system is configured.

if that dosenot work; then you will have to run Erase from the Erase utility without the drives connected; this will only erase your Nvram; and then reset the SCU F10 partion.

when running erase make sure no hard drives are connected to server.


Can run the SCU from smart start cd 5.50 or under; or also from floppy:

I've just also have just started to have this problem and followed the instructions that the Tech guy said but still don't work. Have you had any luck?
