Hello Lee,
It seems like you're experiencing issues with the boot process on your UCS B200 M5 server. Let's try some troubleshooting steps:
1. Reboot the server and during the boot process, press F2 to access the BIOS setup.
If you cannot access the BIOS, try resetting the CMOS by powering off the server, removing power cables, and then pressing the CMOS reset button on the server or removing the CMOS battery for a few seconds before reinserting it.
2. Once in the BIOS setup, navigate to the 'Boot' menu and ensure that the correct boot order is set. Typically, the boot order should be set to prioritize network boot (PXE) if you're reinstalling the OS through a network boot process.
3. Save the settings and reboot the server. If the issue persists, you may need to update the LSI MegaRAID firmware and the BIOS firmware to the latest versions. You can find the firmware updates and instructions on how to perform the updates on the Cisco website.
4. If the issue still persists after the firmware update, there might be a hardware issue with the RAID controller. In this case, you should contact Cisco Technical Support for further assistance.
I hope these steps will help you resolve the issue. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to ask.
