[PVE-User] Can I get some assistance with installing proxmox on Dell Poweredge R815 servers

[Alex Chekholko]

I don't know the answer off the top of my head but it would help you to
expand your search to just any Debian installation on that hardware, as
"proxmox" is just a specific variant of Debian. You can also try a Debian
installation yourself on those hosts.
