You need to load an OS supported by Dell - ie: Windows -

works, you either use Linux or call Dell and tell them to make it
work with FreeBSD or your going to return the server to Dell.
You have 30 days from date of purchase to do this per UCC.
Tired of messing with it, I bought a new dell
poweredge 2650, with scsi raid, a couple gigs of ram,
duals, and just a new system, configured it, copied
user data over and switched to it. Sure enough still
the worst stability I've ever seen. It has dual power
supplies, each in a different UPS. I don't believe
power is the problem or I'd see similar problems on
the other server or router I have plugged in there. I
even upgraded to 6.0-Release-p1 but no luck.
Well, we run some 2850's which may or may not be similar and they run
fine. Random reboots sounds like hardware. Our Dell's came with
bootable diagnostics on the first disk slice (F1 at boot time) so if you
didn't scrub them I would suggest booting them. If you did scrub them
then I would call Dell, but as Ted says, they may bitch and moan that
they don't support FreeBSD.
