Hi, If the server has UEFI option you can select and try it. This model is a bit old for me. I was looking for what can be causing this issue. I encountered this thread, in here they talked about downgrading to BIOS. http://dell.to/3YeuiS9;

 

 

Hope that helps!

The 2950 does not support UEFI.

Which CPU model do you have installed?

Where does the install stop / get stuck? Is there an error message?
