Hello Grmi, <br />
<br />
Mavaks has an excellent suggestion. &nbsp;I wonder if a USB Stick would work as well?<br />
<br />
Rereading your comments, I got confused. &nbsp;Are you having problems seeing the SATA Disk or problems seeing the installation CD/DVD via the DVD?<br />
<br />
Please clarify.<br />

Hello Grmi,

Mavaks has an excellent suggestion.  I wonder if a USB Stick would work as well?

Rereading your comments, I got confused.  Are you having problems seeing the SATA Disk or problems seeing the installation CD/DVD via the DVD?

Please clarify.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
