I want to put this board in a server rack that doesn’t have fans with speed monitoring. Having to push F2 was in the way because I would always have to have a keyboard connected after a restart. I just used the ctrl + ctrl + F10 and it worked.

For anyone reading, if it doesn’t let you into the BIOS, just keep pressing the keys, even after the F2 error pops up. Don’t stop pressing! Worked for me.
