Why does installation screen goes blank on Dell R730xd Server?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • A brand new Dell R730xd Server installer drops into a black screen and hangs immediately after selecting to do a clean install
  • Strangely Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 installs fine.
  • The Hardware Dell Server r730xd with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x installer starts but as soon as the install is initiated via the install menu the screen goes black, initially with a frequency out of range and then it turns off completely

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7
