T130 repurpose

I have a PowerEdge T130 server that was recently replaced with a newer model simply because the T130's service contract expired and the client preferred a new unit to renewing a service contract. It has a quad-core Intel® Xeon E3-1230 v5 3.4GHz, 8M cache, 4C/8T CPU, one 8GB ECC RAM module, and this thing called "iDRAC8 Basic" which, I believe, has to do with security and booting. It's this latter item which (again, my supposition) makes the boot process take a v-e-r-y long time to finish.

I'm thinking about repurposing this machine as a "productivity desktop" by adding an inexpensive video card and another 8GB ECC memory module of the proper spec; but I'm wondering what can be done about this incredibly long boot process. Is this a result of having the "iDRAC"? Is this a piece of hardware that may be removed? When I look at the old spec sheet for this server, the iDRAC is noted as "Embedded Systems Management" so is this a motherboard chip? If so, I would assume I'm S-O-L.

Comments and advice gratefully appreciated. If the machine would be more useful kept as a server (all software is still on the HD) to someone reading this post, please make me an offer.

Thanks,

Barry

[Edit: Apparently it's an embedded iDRAC (no card on the mobo) so I guess I'll just try to disable it at the BIOS/UEFI screen.]
