16 Getting Started With USC or USC-LCE
Pre-requisites for Using USC or USC-LCE
Before using USC/USC-LCE you should ensure that the following pre-
requisites are met:
• Ensure that your network is configured.
• Ensure that your system has the latest versions of iDRAC and BIOS
installed.
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> does not allow
you to enter System Services:
• System Services disabled — If you turn on or restart your system while
iDRAC is initializing, the message
System Services disabled is
displayed during the system boot process. This occurs if you turn 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.
If the message System Services disabled still displays, then the
product may have been manually disabled. See
"Disabling USC or USC-
LCE" on page 19 for information on how to enable USC or USC-LCE.
• System Services update required — If the message System Services
update required appears when you boot your system, the
embedded device that stores the product may contain corrupted data.
To resolve the issue, update the product by executing USC or USC-LCE
Dell Update Package (DUP). See the
Dell Update Packages User’s Guide at
support.dell.com/manuals for more information.
If an operating system is not installed on the system or if executing the
DUP does not fix the problem, run the USC or USC-LCE repair package.
See
"Repairing USC" on page 91 or "Repairing USC-LCE" on page 91 for
more information.
