Hi guys. After much appreciated input from the forum my new server hardware is on its way. I am currently trying to plan and going through the steps I need to do after it is assembled and I begin the setup and installation.
Its been quite som time since I did my previous build an a lot of this is quite new to me so I am hoping for some input on the first steps to help me on my way. Specifically what should I do before installing the OS? I imagine there perhaps might be settings I need to change in the BIOS related to disks and the vGPU (although I do not what those might be). Are there any other preliminary configurations I need to do in the BIOS or other things I need to consider before installing the OS?

- Supermicro X11SCH-F
- Micron DDR4 2666MHz ECC 32GBG
- Seagate Exos 7E8 8TB (x4)
