Installing Centos 7 On Dell Power edge 3

I am trying to install  Centos 7  On Dell Power edge G3 , with BIOS 1.1.0. However the installation hangs in between. I guess the  BIOS needs to be updated.

Please let me know the following

1) Does Power edge 3 supports Centos 7 ? If yes which BIOS I need to update.

2) What BIOS version I need to update ?

3) What are the steps for updating BIOS?

Hi,

What model server does it say that it is on the Dell logo screen?

its G3, BIOS 1.1.0. I want to update to 2.7.0. Centos 7.0 is getting installed on 1950 , I believe that it will be installed on 2950 as well.

I tried updating using the iso file on Dell website and allowed it to run for 24 hours but nothing happened.

Please let me know how to update the BIOS.

What happened when you tried to run it? Did it start the update?
