You're right about the support. This was an eval. server that never had support and even if it had, it would be expired. Instead of not using it at all, CentOS was loaded on it and it's been used as a basic file server. I see your link to installing alt. OS on the Snaps and expected headaches. These seem completely unrelated at this point as I can't even get to the BIOS screen. Even with KB and video connected, nothing comes up on the screen and I can not get to the BIOS to make changes. Clearing the CMOS should have undone any misconfigurations in the BIOS which I could then edit to my liking. The problem is that I can't get to that point. To clarify, the SCSI card is no longer in the machine, the hardware is setup just as it was upon delivery.
