Regarding Installation of Invalidated OS (Fedora Core 8) On Dell Power Edge 2900

[Nandakumar, Sriramkumar]

Hi,
I am Sriram and I am a graduate student at university of Kentucky.
We have purchased Dell Power Edge 2900 in our lab. At present no OS is installed on that machine.
I would like to install Fedora Core 8 on that machine.
I came to know that Fedora Core 8 is the invalidated OS for Power edge 2900.
I have few questions regarding this.

1) Has any one installed invalidated OS`s (Particularly Fedora Core 8) on Power Edge 2900?
2) Since my machine has no pre installed OS, Will it be possible to install Fedora core 8 in that?
3) Do we need any extra drivers to be installed before installing Fedora core 8?

It could be really helpful if any one can assist me in resolving this.

Thanks in Advance.


Thanks & Regards,
Sriram.
