To perform an optical media installation, complete the following steps:
1. Attach the external optical drive to the USB port of your Power Systems
compute node.
2. Insert the installation media into the optical drive.
3. Reboot or power on the server and press the 1 key when prompted to access
SMS mode, as shown in Figure 8-31.

Note: IBM i installation can be performed from optical media. The IBM i
process is different from what is described here for AIX and Linux. For more
information, see Section 5 of Getting Started with IBM i on an IBM Flex
System compute node, available at:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/
To perform Optical media installation, you need an external USB drive (not
provided with either the chassis nor the Power Systems compute node)
attached to your Power Systems compute node.
