Just getting into servers - help

I have been looking into getting a server for a while, I have dabbled with a second windows 10 machine, running a Plex server, along with a few other things like teamviewer and a few hard drives.

 

However recently I bought myself a used Cisco C210 M2, just to experiment with, and I fear I jumped into the deep end way sooner than I was comfortable with.

 

It may just be a hardware issue, but it is most likely a stupidity issue on my part (on top of this, the server was listed as tested, from a reputable IT company). The server seems to not boot up into any installation media, from a sata hard drive, USB stick and disk drive.

 

 

If anybody could point me in the direction to get this server up and running I would be eternally grateful!

What does it say when it starts up?

Did you get into the bios? I've seen some servers disable USB boot by default.

I presume it has some sort of RAID controller for the harddrives, so you would have to configure that first before it could even see a drive.
