The installation begins when you boot a copy of the installation ISO file, which can be on a DVD, a network location, or mounted on the server SP.
To download and prepare the installation ISO image, see Obtaining and Preparing a Full Installation ISO Image.
You can perform the installation on the local server or over the network on a remote server:
Local Installation: For a local installation, connect a USB DVD drive to one of the server USB ports and insert a DVD containing the installation ISO image in it.
Remote Installation: On a remote server, you can either:
Insert a DVD containing the installation ISO image into a DVD drive connected to the server.
Place the installation ISO image on a network location that is set up for virtual redirection.
Mount the installation ISO image on the service processor (SP).
