BIOS

Dell Server "Strike F1 to continue"

Dell Poweredge 1400SC

This Dell server has had some of its components changed - hard drives changed, and memory upgraded. As a result, when booting up, it asked "Strike F1 to continue".

dell.com website provides download for latest BIOS. It is said that flashing the BIOS will get rid of this "Strike F1 to continue". But I am lazy tonight. I already installed Linux on it, so I can't use dell.com's exe file to update BIOS. Nor do I have a diskette handy to create floppy disk.
