☐ Boot into BIOS.
☐ Find the section for setting boot options. Set the following boot order:

  • Optical drive first
  • Hard Drive second
  • Network boot last. You may need to enable this option in another part of BIOS.
  • Disable or ignore other options.

☐ Verify that BIOS recognizes about the same amount of RAM as is marked on the Keeper label

  • BIOS may report slightly less RAM than the total amount installed. It should not be less than a couple hundred megabytes. The 'missing' RAM is being actively used by the system.

☐ Make sure that no BIOS or administrative passwords are set.
