    I think you will find that RHEL 7 only supports 64 bit. Is that server a 64 bit machine?

    DL580 G2 should be a Xeon MP socket 603. Definitely 32-bit. If you really want systemd there is a 32-bit CentOS 7 release:

    http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

    I'm sticking with CentOS 6.9 for now, with third-party repos.
