Vendors like to stall on non-vendor parts (Dell is not the only one). Either continue to hit F1 to continue or replace the memory with Dell memory.

Something not likely to help, but worth to try is to enter bios and save settings. Sometime you need to change something in bios (and then put it back) for save to be effective.

Echo rindi, the non-Dell memory while detected is seen as in an error state and is likely not reflected as a available within the OS when loaded.<br />
Stop on error none will stop the need to hit F1.<br />

John's suggestion will get you you the added memory and will clear the issue.

Every time my SBS 2011 Standard server is restarted I have to physically be there to hit &quot;F1&quot; so it continue to reboot. The only message I see along the way is something about an non-Dell memory stick installed but it continues for awhile then it gets to the &quot;Select F1 to continue...&quot;. Without swapping ram, is there a way to override this, maybe in the BIOS?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
