Hi,

I am new to working on servers but I am trying to get linux set up on this machine I bought from someone.

When I bought the sever It had windows server on it the guy never removed so I went and burnt the Ubunto Iso to a CD and figured I would install a new OS.

So I went into the bios and hit clear set up or something I shouldn't have and then changed the boot to CD and put in the iso disk and when I now turn the server on it just goes through the start up screens and stops and says "pxe-e61 media test failure check cable"

I have searched this online and found many different answers but I have a feeling when I messed with something in the bios I messed something up.


Can anyone tell me how to get this server going again?

Thanks so much!!

Joseph

Change the boot order to boot from CD before network.

Yes you did. You changed it to boot from the network. You need to change the boot order in the BIOS to boot from Optical Media first, then the HDD. By the way, I hope you have the drivers for the SCSI RAID in the PowerEdge.
