Next, use [
Rufus«] to create a bootable USB drive.
Set the following options.

Load the ISO into Rofus and
[
Partition scheme]: MBR
[
Target System]: BIOS or UEFI
[
File System]: Fat32

(Information may vary for your server. This is the basic for the R-Series Boot Options.)
Next, boot your [
R630 Server] with the USB drive in the front slot.
Press [
F11] to boot into the Boot Manager.
Choose [
C Drive]
Then choose the [

(This seems to be an issue with all Dell R Series servers that have the iDrac Express card installed.
The Question mark indicates the Version Number.)
#1: Device: iDrac?
Application: iDrac?
Failed to update to standby image.
This issue will happen if the iDrac? Express card is no longer functioning.
Replacing the iDrac? Express card is required.
