I am wondering which settings are recommended for a R430 to run in Software Raid mode. The server is equipped with 4 disks which should run in Raid 1 for the boot/system and Raid 10 for data. However a OpenSuse Leap can install but has problems installing the GRUB2 boot loader, so I am wondering if there is a standard way of prepare a PowerEdge base system, preferable UEFI disabled, what are recommended BIOS settings?

Maybe sure the disks are formatted and proceed to start an installation from scratch as the default first, to establish if there is a problem with installing GRUB2 in this configuration. If there was a previous operating system on the boot disk, it may be causing a problem with trying to install GRUB2 and get that to work.
As for the RAID, since you have four disks RAID10 can be used. Or run two RAID1s, a pair for the boot/system and the second pair for the data.
