I'm have an issue with my server that has been running for yrs without issue. Recently I noticed that the system wasn't running and I logged on to the IPMI and saw that is was trying to boot from one of the data drives. When I hit F11 to select the boot drive everything works but I'm unable to get the BIOS ver 3.3 (latest) to remember the boot order and pick my SSD as the 1st boot device. My initial thought was something was wrong with the boot SSD so I decided to get another Kinston V300 120 Gig SSD to create a dual boot for redundancy which I've been meaning to do anyways. When I reboot from the IPMI the server reboots but I'm unable to get it to go into the setup menu or boot menu from a remote computer (like it's not reading the keystrokes). I instead have to go to the physical server to do it. The menu for del to enter setup and f11 to choose the boot device shows up 2 times and the f11 key has to be entered each time.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in the bios menu or if there is an issue.
