The IMM .iso I wanted to boot is the vmware esxi 4.1 installer.<br />
<br />
I had it set to boot from CD first, and it booted to the physical disc in the drive, and then never booted over to the .iso mounted in the IMM.<br />
<br />
The problem I had was there was no OS to boot into and eject from within the OS.<br />

In the end I had to get hands on the server to hit the button.

I had it set to boot from CD first, and it booted to the physical disc in the drive, and then never booted over to the .iso mounted in the IMM.

The problem I had was there was no OS to boot into and eject from within the OS.

In the end I had to get hands on the server to hit the button.

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

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
