We recommend for maximum compatibility, you use the IPMIView tool to connect to your Supermicro dedicated server’s IPMI/iKVM.
IPMIView is available from the Supermicro website: https://www.supermicro.com/en/solutions/management-software/ipmi-utilities
When connected to the server via IPMIView, an ISO can be mouted and booted with the following steps:
- In the KVM Console tab, select Java as the interface and then click Launch KVM Console.
- When the Viewer window opens (this is the console output), click Virtual Media >> Virtual Storage.
- Select ISO Image and Drive Type and then click Open Image, you’ll be able to browse your PC for the ISO.
- When the ISO is selected, click Plug In to make the ISO available to the server.
- Restart the server (via Power Control menu) and hit F11 when the server is at the post screen to bring up the boot override menu.
