So I managed to score a DL380 Gen6 off an auction. The auctioneer gave me a CD with SmartStart 8.7b2 and a flashdrive with the ISO of Win Sever 2008 r2. He said simply place the CD into the drive, boot into the CD through the boot options and you will see a GUI. Use the GUI to reconfigure the RAID to your choice and format the drives. Then use SmartStart to install the ISO of Server 2008 r2.

Following his instructions, I plugged in the server, turned it on. Used the boot options to boot into the CD-ROM, (I have the USB with server 2008 connected in the back of the server). Once smartstart boots, I receive two options to choose from: 1) SmartStart 8.7 2)SmartStart 8.7 with fibre. I chose the former, it then boots into the CommandLine. Unfortunately, I do not know enough Linux to nagivate through the CommandLine and I am unsure of why the GUI is not working.
