system will shut down and power off.

The current boot retry counter status is available in the BIOS:
Ê Enter the BIOS.
Ê Select the Server Mgmt menu.
Ê Under Boot Retry Counter the current number of remaining boot attempts is
displayed. The value is further decremented with every failed boot attempt
or system reboot resulting from critical system errors.
Ê Exit the BIOS.
5.2.6.2 Resetting the boot retry counter
The boot retry counter should be reset to its original value concluding every
service task.
I Please note, if the customer does not know about the original boot
retry values:
If the system boots up and no further errors occur within 6 hours after that
successful boot attempt, the boot retry counter will automatically be reset
to its default value. Please take into account, that the specified number
of boot attempts can only be determined after this period of time.

to reset or configure the boot retry counter:
