i have 3 36 gig hdds in my hot-swap bays in my dual dual-core Xeon 3.6Ghz Poweredge 2650.
it has 6 Gigs of ram, and scsi ports 0 to 2 (i believe) designated for hard drives. it is missing a raid key.
i have been able to boot it from a cd. . .
i need to set it up as my windows 8 deployment test server.
i have considered running it off a flashdrive, but thought i may be able to get some advice here before i take such rash actions.
what should i check (hardware/software) out to diagnose this? this is my first time working with a server.
