How many times have you rebooted a server from a remote location, hoping that it will come back online. Its happened to me alot. I keep on pinging the server hoping so see reply back, but instead, i wait and wait and all i see are reply time outs.

When I ask my remote hands people, i have them connect a KVM to see what the error message is, only for them to tell me the server is at:

Press F1 To Continue

Well, next time this happens to you, tell your remote hands people to disable it. How do you disable it? well, i will show you:

first get into the BIOS, in this example guide, i will be using an intel board i use for a customer's web site.

Step 1. So, this is the error message you will see (or your remote hands people)



Step 2. To go to the BIOS configuration, in my case, i am going to press "Delete" button. One i am in the BIOS, I am going to look for the "HALT ON" Option. Select it and choose the "No Errors" Options.



Step 3. Save your changes and reboot



Done
