Booting From the Server Configuration Software CD

CAUTION
The Server Configuration Software CD contains only a limited operating
system. This limited operating system provides enough function to let you
boot from the CD and copy and use the utility and manual files from the CD.
But this limited OS is NOT intended to be copied onto diskettes or onto your
hard disk as a full-function OS that supports networking or Windows
run your server and applications, you must buy the OS of your choice and
install it on the server.
See Figure 2-3.
1. Open the CD tray by pressing the open/close button on the front panel of the CD-ROM drive—
the tray will slide out of the drive.
2. Open the CD case. Press down on the center hub of the case with your finger to release the
hub tension on the CD.
CAUTION
Handle the CD only by the inner and outer edges. Do not touch the data side
of the CD—the side without the label.
3. Gently grasp the center hole and outer edge of the CD, remove it from the case, and place it
label-side up in the tray.
4. Press the open/close button or gently push on the tray—it will automatically slide into the
drive.
5. Press the reset switch on the front panel to reboot the server.
6. When POST completes, the server beeps once, boots from the CD, installs a mouse driver, and
displays the CD-ROM menu. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the menu bar and to view
the tasks in the pop-up menus.
