Proliant ML350 G3 - Error 602 - Diskette Boot Record Error

[IBM Kenobi]

I recently connected a SCSI tape drive and rebooted the server.
The tape drive was recognised but after completing the scsi load sequence the HP ethernet boot agent loads and then I received the error 602:
Diskette Boot Record Error

(There is no floppy or cd in the drives).

I have disconnected the scsi tape drive and rebooted but the same error appears and will not go past it.

The HP Ethernet Boot Agent is v3.1.15
HP Ultra 3 Bios.

What is causing the error and how do I correct it?
Thanks for your time.

Hello IBM,

Disconnect as well other External USB Devices such as UPS connected to the Server via USB Port.

Hi, I was using the external usb drive as a temporary backup until the replacement tape drive arrived.
Removing it worked perfectly. Thank you kindly for the quick responses.
I didn't try the first response as removing the USB drive worked so I haven't rated it.

Thank you anyway though.
