You can start the operating system installation to a server by booting a local or remote installation media source. The following identifies the supported media sources and the setup requirements for each source.
Local boot media requires a built-in storage device on the server or an external storage device attached to the server. Supported OS local boot media sources can include CD/DVD-ROM installation media, and, if applicable, floppy device driver media.
If your server does not contain a built-in storage device, attach the appropriate storage device to the server using a USB connector
For more information about how to attach local devices to the server, refer
to Connecting Cables and Powering On to Standby-Power Mode in Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Installation Guide.
