Press the F12 key with a bootable DVD in the drive and you can then boot from the DVD drive.

To boot from a CD/DVD  you must turn secure boot OFF and boot in Legacy mode.

thanks for your quick reply.

when I do this I get the following screen:

Legacy Boot:

UEFI Boot:

Secure Boot (inaccessible)

Load Legacy Option Rom (inaccessible)

Boot Liat Option

and I don't have Add Boot option

Is that the correct way the boot screen looks like to boot from cd/dvd?

thanks
