proliant 2500

I have a proliant 2500( i know oldie but goodie) it has no os on it, and the drives are blank, i have no software for it, i cannot get it to accept an OS, windows or linux. I guessi need Smartstart. But what version?? i have a raid array on it too, Raid 5. Do i need software for that as well? Has anyone had success loading a distro of linux on one of these servers?? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. TY Kevin

SmartStart V5.3 works on the 2500. Red Hat 7.2 installs easily. The only problem was getting the installer to recognise memory > 16M. Use a line like 'linux mem=384M'.
