Are you getting an error? Are you sure they keyboard works? Is it asking for a key press? How long are you waiting? What exactly IS on the screen? What happened before it stopped working?– PhilosopheneJun 20, 2014 at 22:03

@arcesso No errors on screen. Keyboard was tested with another system just now. It just shows BIOS loading and on the top right corner F2,F11,F12 options from which I can't choos any. On screen is this– skmasqJun 20, 2014 at 22:10

@arcesso it sits like that for 10, 15 and counting minutes.– skmasqJun 20, 2014 at 22:12

Any external/USB drives plugged in? A lot of times that will cause it to hang.– Brad BouchardJun 20, 2014 at 22:16

Make sure to unplug any USB/external drives. They can cause the server to hang at boot in many instances.
