Hey guys, I am 100% new to Ubuntu and am trying to install ubuntu server 16.10 on a Dell R710 server. I am installing ubuntu from a USB drive and can make it all the way to where I select the disk partition but the only drive it shows is the USB drive. How can I get the machine to recognize either of the 6TB hard drives in bay 0 and 1. I am very lost at this point so any help is appreciated. The HDD are both brand new and never been used.

Are the HDs showing in the BIOS?

I would also be trying the 16.04 server edition since it has a much longer support life than 16.10.
