I purchased a Used Poweredge R710 today with no drives.
Turns out this was used for an arcsight logger.
Service tag comes up:
PowerEdge R710
Service Tag: HNV0DQ1 Express Service Code: 38448107641
I would like to flash the bios on this to get it back to factory settings.
I tried the R710-060400C bios executable, I get back this error:
Cannot use a Dell Systems PowerEdge R710" Bios in a "Arcsight, Inc - 7200 Series"
Press any key to exit..
And it dumps me back to my bootable usb.
Arcsight is now HP, and they haven't been very helpful.
How can I force this bios firmware to bring it back to stock.
Thanks
R
EDIT:
I found it - had to flash the bios with the /forcetype flag.
this can be closed.
