Starting the server from the CD-ROM drive

To start the server from the CD-ROM drive, proceed as follows:

1 Change the starting order of boot devices, as described below.

In the “BIOS FEATURES SETUP” dialog box of the BIOS
Setup Utility, specify the CD-ROM drive as the 2nd boot drive,
and the current 2nd boot drive as the 3rd boot drive.
See “System Configuration Setup” on page 104.

2 Ensure that the floppy disk drive is empty.

3 Switch on the server.

4 Once the server is switched on, immediately press the eject

button of the CD-ROM drive and load a bootable CD-ROM.

NOTE: The eject button of the CD-ROM drive is only
operative when the server is on. To start the server from
the CD-ROM drive, you need to load a bootable CD-ROM
in the CD-ROM drive immediately after turning on the
server.
If you fail to load the startup CD-ROM in time, press the
<Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys simultaneously to restart
the server.

Once the server recognizes the presence of a bootable
CD-ROM, it cannot start from the hard disk drive, even if
you remove the CD-ROM immediately after the server
recognizes it. If you want to boot the server from the hard
disk drive, press the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys
simultaneously to restart the server.
