Set Up the Boot Media for a Local Installation
To set up the local boot
media, you must insert a storage device that contains the Windows
Server OS installation media into the server using one of the following
options.
-
If the server is equipped with an optional DVD drive, insert the Windows
Server OS installation DVD into the DVD drive located on the front of the
server; otherwise, proceed to the next step.
-
If your server does not have a DVD drive, insert an external USB DVD drive
or a USB flash drive that contains the Windows Server OS installation media
into one of the external USB ports located on the front and rear of the
server.
