I am also using CentOS, but to get a bug fixed, you have to go upstream to RedHat. I think John Pierce is right, I had to change my run level to get the alternate consoles to work. I still have the machine at run level 3 hoping that a bug fix lets me go back to run level 5. Other machines work fine, just the 2 with the MACH64 video on the motherboard will no longer run X.

I did try other console and it did not work. I did go from 6.7 to 6.8 but with centos not redhat.

Try another console like ALT-F2. See if you have a black screen login prompt. I opened a bug with RedHat for a system that when I went from 6.7 to 6.8 booted but would not start the X server. Problem was in the MACH64 driver. It is missing an external symbol that the X server requires.

This is a wild guess since the problem I had occurred on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but the symptoms are identical. Try 'systemctl enable console-getty.service' then 'systemctl start console-getty.service' or, if it is headless (serial console only), 'systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyS0.service' then 'systemctl start serial-getty@ttyS0.service' assuming it's ttyS0). For VMs (specifically kvm/qemu) neither of these "solutions" worked.

I figured out that the system boots OK and it is possible to login remotely. However the monitor does not start up.
Do you know how to fix it?

You are right it is a Dell PowerEdge. However as I said it stops in the middle of booting with no message.

I am running centos 6.8
The system went down when we try to reboot it we get the message ST:3P7Y9Y1 Do you know what the problem might be.
I'm guessing you mean the message on the front panel, which is the service tag number.
indeed, thats the service tag for a Dell PowerEdge T620, shipped in September 2013, with dual Xeon E5-X2667, 48GB ram, and 10 3TB drives, originally running RHEL 6.5
indeed, you need to connect a monitor to it to determine what stage of the boot is failing and why.
