ML570 G1 New OS install

[xlr8n4d]

I have the need for administration on a ML570 server with P20 ROM and 2 arrays of HDD, RAID5 and RAID1.

What I need most help with is selecting an OS, seems that after looking I need SmartStart CD version of 7.5 or something to install Win Server 2003 on it, and can't seem to find that anywhere.

Also I read somewhere that there would be a need to upgrade the ROM to something newer that 2/xx/2002 also or similar.

Anyone have server 2003 running on it, or have a suggestion on a link that works that I can find SmartStart that is new enough that it will contain configuration for my ML570 to run Server 2003?

I don't think 8.5 supports my ML570 G1 for 2003 server
