@Sean / Brian - We have a Dell R710 that is unable to detect DRAC6 at start up and reboots. There was no DRAC6 board in the system so I bought one and installed it but the message remains the same.
I also have "System Services Disabled" message in the bios top right corner.
There is no Ctrl-E capability on posting, nor do the steps above change any behaviour when it boots back up (i.e. there is no way I know to get into the DRAC6 interface). The DRAC6 cat5 socket does have flashing green activity LED and solid orange LED. Have managed to upgrade server BIOS from 1.0.4 to 6.3.0.
I also tried to install a Lifecycle Controller update like someone else posted, and that also failed because it "couldn't read the inventory from the LCL".
Don't have any OS installed on this box from which to run tools, but do have the Dell Repository Manager installed on my desktop if that helps.
