How to install Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 on an Dell PowerEdge R620?
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20.04 on an R620, but no success so far... can anyone give me a light please?
BIOS Version is 2.9.0
I already tried through iDrac/virtual CD in BIOS and UEFI modes + AHCI and ATA modes. (Can't try with RAID because isn't an option.)
Also tried through Lifecycle Controller in both BIOS and UEFI modes, and in when I try to deploy OS in "UEFI Mode", the "Any Other System" option doens't appear.
When I try in BIOS mode, an empty purple screen appears and it goes into a black screen after, and nothing happens.
When in UEFI mode, grub install screen appears (install ubuntu screen), but when I select the option to install, also goes into a black screen and nothing happens.
I'm without options :/
Thanks in advance!

Hello thanks for choosing Dell. I'm afraid there's nothing we can help you with on this- it's only 14G onwards.

@DELL-Young E Hello! Thanks for answering in advance :)
I've seen some people managed to install Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 on a R620, but mostly I've seen it's with RAID configuration, here's an example:

I also seen some that managed to install Ubuntu 18.04 in R620, but even 18.04 I can't install :/ Always throw me into a black (UEFI) or purple (BIOS) empry screen.
There isn't a configuration or something that I need to make in BIOS? or racadm? Some option that I could just try?
Kind Regards,
