Hello, I'm trying to install windows 2008 server and while going to partition the disks, it want me to use MSR (GPT) formation, that because of the UEFI. How I can install the disks with MBR?
Current Disk configuration: 2x256GB SSD RAID 1 connected to the builtin LSi controller

You're really in the wrong place for that question. You should ask in a Windows forum.

That said, why would you not want UEFI?

sorry for the wrong topic

I would like to keep the disks to use the MBR method and not GPT.

Not sure why you care at all if they are MBR or GPT. GPT is used because it supports >2TB drives. Without GPT all of us with >2TB drives would only be able to use 2TB.

Besides, once you put the disks in your FreeNAS server you should not care what they use for a partition table because you shouldn't be needing to pull them out until you are ready to use them in another system. In that case you'll have to reformat the drives anyway...
