Hi, Yeah those will be fine on the DVD ISO of 6.1 booted from a USB DVD. You may want to download the PowerEdge updates as well to get the firmware upgrades. Thanks.

Can these older beasts (1900, 2900) even boot from a USB DVD? I might try that.

You can skip using this disk if you choose not to install the OpenManage setup files during the install phase. Installing using the Dell stuff now really needs a DVD (even a USB DVD is better than using the CDs). 5.3 was the last version to have a CD release, 5.5 is the most recent release of the tool for the older servers (Poweredge 2650, 1750 etc), and there is now 6.1 for the newer gen servers.

I have always been used to merely putting in the build CD and then having it ask for the Windows CD and the rest is history but this is a new one on me.

Can check tomorrow at work though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Shugart" <rshugart@pcisys.net> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 4:22 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] booting from the CD on a Dell PE Frank: I don't know about that specific model, but with all the Dell precisions I've worked with, F12 pressed right when the computer boots brings up the 1 time boot menu. The CD is the second or third option.
