Complete.

Supplement, the practice found that installing ubuntu16.04 on VMware's ESXi uses this image to install the boot normally.

However, after the installation of the Dell server on the boot, normal to select the startup item, after the hard drive is found directly black screen, do not display the information at the start. As if the system is not properly installed.

The workaround is: Ctrl +alt +f1 into the tty1. Into the system after the/etc/default/grub inside the grub_cmdline_linux_default= "quiet" inside the quiet deleted can be.
