Boot faiure on "new to me" Z620 workstation - unable to install Linux (centos 7)

I have a new to me workstation that had WIn 7 installed.   I need to install CentOS 7.

 

BIOS screens indicate system has 2 disks, and system booted to Win 7 on arrival.

 

When I attempted to install CentOS 7 (using usb drive and CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810.iso), I system did not find disks to install.     I attempted bios adjustments to ensure that security was not preventing me from accessing hard drives.

On next attempt to install, boot failed with 6 beeps from system.

 

Made an attempt to "hard reset" bios (unplug device - hold power button for 15 sec) without success.

 

Could use some ideas both to get BIOS back to where I can install OS, and any settings required to allow LInux to be installed on system disks.
