When in the OS selction screens you need to select custom. This will allow you to size your boot partion.  Depending on how you configure your drives/arrays/logical drives you will need to configure additional storage after Windos is installed.

Also 2008 R2 requires UEFI optimised boot to be disabled.  Refer to the HP UEFI Deployment Guide for HP ProLiant Gen9 Servers

UEFI and Legacy BIOS use different bootloaders. The system will only boot under teh mode the intallation was done under, you can not switch back and forth between modes.

The USB drive must have the UEFI boot files installed.
