Sorry but not really.
My workplace is an HPE shop and our DL3XX Gen8 and above can boot in about <4-3min to the OS part.
Comment on What are your tweaks to bring down POST times on new servers?

6 min seems about right for an enterprise server, the more you have like a raid card initialization the longer it will be. Since there devices are designed to be run for months or years without rebooting it really doesn't matter that the reboot takes as long as it does.

It’s a bit of a shock to me. These are being used to replace some Poweredge 860’s where POST time was pretty identical to that of a desktop, even though they too had PERC raid controllers in them. And sure, the NAS has the PERC plus a pair of 16-port LSI cards to initialize, but that doesn’t seem to make a difference on the boot time between the other machines with only the onboard PERC.
