Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CallManager) Remotely
I have previously installed Windows onto a new IBM System x3650 to confirm they worked, update firmware and so on and confirm network connectivity. No problems there, however when I tried to remotely install Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CallManager) I kept getting checksum errors and indications the ISO was corrupt.
Finally got a good ISO but it was failing part way through the install. After lots of checking Cisco tells me that doing a remote install of Call Manager via the IMM is not supported - I am very surprised since I've done Windows and Linux installations without any troubles... I’m assuming it's because when you control the server remotely the DVD drive appears like a USB device but the Call Manager installer expects an IDE device??
I went over to the data center and placed a physical DVD into the drive and then tried a remote install, but now the install is saying the hardware is not recognized (i.e. it's failing Cisco's hardware checks thinking it's not an approved server)!
Although I can access the server remotely I try not having to travel 500 miles simply to do an install..
Can anyone suggest what the next steps would be.. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

What memory, cpu and disk specifications does it have currently? Please be as detailed as possible. Also please mention the exact error gotten.
And also what CM version are you installing from the DVD.
