After a bootable operating system has been installed on the hard disk drive, press Enter
while the message "Press any key to boot from CD..." is displayed at the top of the screen.

Begin after turning on the system power again.

window is in either of the following states.

If the RAID Controller/Option Controller is not used, you do not
need to press F6, and go to Step 12.
