Just brought PowerEdge R230 for my Data Server but it can't boot i don't know why. I try this USB on other box the Optiplex 3020 and it works perfect i can install. Is there any tweak i need to do? Please help...

Thank you!

Is you can't boot the installer you have other problems most likely. What you tried changing the bios setting and/or factory resetting the bios? What hdd controller are you using?

A r230 is a really strange machine to use. It's only 1u.

You do not want raid you shouldn't run raid with zfs. Does your system boot normal freebsd?
