Do not select  ISO while creating VM and Set this option - I will install OS later.

Once Vm created - right click on VM  go to option CD/DVD - set ISO path from here . then power on and try booting server and let me know

What is the memory size you have allocated to this VM. Make sure it's 1GB at least.
