Dell dss 2500
I want to customize my server with basic server components and without a server chassis.
I have these things in stock:-
1) Dell DSS 2500 motherboard
2) 2 x intel xeon e5-2650v4
3) 8 x 32 GB ECC RAM
4) 2 x 2 TB HDD SATA
5) 2 x Dell 450-watt power supply
6) 2 x Dell 750-watt power supply
7) 6 x server fan
I have connected the following things to the server, but when I start it, it gets stuck at the BIOS. Please check the photo or video.
1) Dell DSS 2500 motherboard
2) 2 x intel xeon e5-2650v4
3) 8 x 32 GB ECC RAM
4) 2 x 2 TB HDD SATA
5) 2 x Dell 450-watt power supply
6) 6 x server fan
7) Connected both HDD Sata drives with onboard raid controller card with wire { mini SAS (SFF-8087) TO 4X SATA forward break out cable }
I have questions to ask:-
1) What are the basic components required to run an operating system?
2) Do I require IDrac 8 physical card, front control panel, back panel, raiser card and HDD back panel
