Server boot issues

[725david]

I will start out by saying I know very little about servers , there hardware and software so I will probably be doing something wrong or not doing something I should of. 

 

Anyway I have been running a plex server off my main desktop for quite some time now and I’ve been wanting to make the transition to a server so it can be on 24/7.

 

I went on eBay and bought a relatively cheap server (FS12-NV7) reason being it looked like it would be overkill for the job (which is good because a lot of users use plex) and also because it has 12 hot swap bays in the front. 

 

First thing I did was put it on the desk and plugged in my OS installation USB and a 120gb ssd (exactly like you would setting up a new desktop) and I went in the BIOS to select a boot drive. This is where the problems start the system detects the SSD and USB but I cannot do anything. I can’t even highlight the drive so I am very confused how I can create a boot drive 

 

I’ve attached screenshots of the bios and boot section so you can see what I can. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give , if there’s not enough information to help tell me what I need and I will try and add it.

Hi,

 

Got the same issue, did you manage to find a solution?

Moved the add-in cards to the first option and also managed to setup virtual drive on the raid controller.

But won't boot from USB, tried to flash drives and even a usb DVD, but nothing

 

Thanks
