    If you have a lot of RAM installed, it can take a while for the memory to initialize.  Is that possibly what you are talking about?  This usually is longest on a cold boot.

    try this: go into the bios (F2 at post), Enter on the Memory settings section, and disable the System Memory Testing option.

    Then there isn't really a way to speed it up other than removing some memory.

    Luckily servers of this caliber aren't rebooted all that often.
