Press F1 to continue or Press F2 for Setup

How can I fix this message? I need my Poweredge 4300 system BIOS to go straight to Windows without this message.

This message comes up int he system BIOS, after all the SCSI controllers have loaded. If I Press F1 it will go to Windows.

I have updated the system BIOS.
I have updated the drivers and firmware on my SCSI COntrollers.
I have updated the ESM Firmware.

I have enabled my SCSI controller to boot in both System BIOS and SCSI BIOS.

Please help.
I need my server to reboot straight to Windows and not get hung up on the Message asking me to pick F1 or F2.

Thanks
