Hi,
I bought a HP DL320e Gen8 v2 for our office because I wanted a low cost 1 rack server to just store company files on - and replace a 5 year old PC that was doing this. Running basic Windows 7 professional, a couple SSD drives.
I received the machine and see it is a real sever with lots of things to be configured. Is there some simple way to just install an OS form an external USB DVD drive? Will it even work this way, I see it only supports server software OSs
Also, any reason I can't use any SSD drives?
I am not an IT professional, only an engineer in a small company - with coding experience, so hopefully enough experience to get this running.
Perhaps this is the wrong machine for what I need - it just happened tobe the cheapest 1u CPU I could find.
Thanks
TedT
