T610: LCC Unable to launch system services image

My work recently retired some T610s. As a gearhead I took one of the them in order to create home lab for vmware. Initially when I started the server i was getting "Can not communicate with idrac6" error message. After some research I decided to replace idrac6 card so I ordered a genuine one from ebay.

With the new idrac card the server NO longer give the "cannot communicate with idrac6" error. Though now when I hit F10 to get in to the system services I get "unable to launch system services image. Restartin the server." error. I tried to upgrade the idrac, lcc and bios firmware and still having the same message.

BTW the server currently has no raid card or drives or any other internal pci cards.

Any idea about how can I resolve this issue?
