Common Features
This section contains the features that are common to both USC and
USC - LCE. Any additional steps or information required for USC - LCE tasks
are noted and provided.
Launching the Product
To launch either USC or USC - LCE, boot the system and press the <F10>
key within 10 seconds of the Dell logo being displayed during the system boot
process to enter System Services.
If the system is in one of the following states, pressing <F10> will not allow
you to enter System Services:
• System Services disabled — If you power on or restart your system while
iDRAC is initializing, the message
System Services disabled will
display during the system boot process. This situation happens if you
power on your system immediately after AC is applied to the system, or if
you restart the system immediately after resetting iDRAC. To avoid this
issue, wait about a minute after resetting iDRAC to restart your system,
thus allowing enough time for iDRAC to complete initialization.
