Dell Server R520 Won't boot

Hello,

   When Our server boots up, we get a message

"Raid Adapter

Firmware Failed Validation!!!

Adapter needs to be reflashed

Press any key to continue"

I then press a key it loads and on the final page, we have these messages:

"PXE-E53: No boot filename received

PXE-M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM.

No boot device available

Current boot mode is set to BIOS

Please ensure compatible bootable media is available

User the system setup program to change the boot mode"

I worked with Avigilon and they stated  the Raid controller is not being recognized.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank You

CJ

Hello

"Raid Adapter

Firmware Failed Validation!!!

Adapter needs to be reflashed

Press any key to continue"

The message indicates that the firmware on the controller is not loading properly. The controller is detected and attempting to load the firmware, but it is unable to complete the initialization process. Since the RAID controller is not initializing the system is going through the remaining boot device list to try to find something bootable.

Which RAID controller are you using, and what happened prior to this issue starting?

Thanks
