- Turn on or restart your system.
- Press <F2> immediately after you see the following message:
<F2> = System Setup
- Navigate to Boot sequence and press enter.
- Here you can change the optical drive to the first boot option.
Once that is set you can then insert the bootable CD, and start the server, it will boot to the CD as long as the media is bootable.
Thanks
