Hi, that sounds like you flashed an SBR that does not have the correct subsystem IDs, and it tripped Dell's BIOS lock-out. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to recover from this situation that does not involve using an external EEPROM programmer.

This has nothing to do with lsirec; please contact the author of that guide to figure out what went wrong. Perhaps the guide is wrong or you used the wrong SBR flashing script for your system.

Hi, yes as marcan said you flashed the wrong SBR to your controller. The D1 For Blades guide you linked is for blade servers only - as in Dell M820, etc. NOT the regular rackmount server you have - you should have followed the regular H710 D1 guide. I figured three warnings on the blade guide were enough but it seems like I may need to start adding pictures as well, as you're not the first person to make this mistake
