Hi,
Yes, if you use the CDs now there are two Dell CDs you need to use:
- The build and update utility disk which is the bootable CD.
- The Dell Consoles and Agent disk which has the Dell OpenManage agent on it. 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.
Andrew.

Scott, thanks After running through the OS install CD utility the Dell
installer asks for the following CD:
dell open server 5.3
I can't seem to find that anywhere on the support and driver page. 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.
Thanks
Frank

F12 is the same I think it's the second option but not 100% certain.
Can
check tomorrow at work though.

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.
