@nahedDid you try another installation DVD? Seems there's some problem with current one.

As alternative way - you can try to install WS 2k8 directly to server using driver for RAID controller.

This could be a possible issue with the OS image too. Can you try a manual OS install, i.e. without IP, and check? If the same issue persists, try a different OS Image OR download a fresh image and test it out.

@nahedI don't see any HW issue with this server. It looks operational. Maybe there's some components FW incompatibility, because FW level is very different for components.

I'd recommend to update server using SPP Gen8.1, but you should have valid support to download it.
