DELL PowerEdge T110 Cannot boot from DVD
I've created a bootable DVD using Win Server 2012 ISO, I changed boot sequence in BIOS but getting "led on this computer." after which nothing happens. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Dmitry1975,
What is the hard drive configuration on this system, is it non raid, an S300 controller or an H200 controller? What version is the BIOS at? Version 2.1.2 added support for installing server 2012. The best way to install the OS is to use our Systems management tools and documentation DVD that will load the drivers needed for the OS install.
Burn this to DVD and boot to it. Choose the Server OS installation option and follow the prompts to start the install.

I don't remember on the T110 if the boot order also has a checkmark to ENABLE the device? If so, it should be moved to the top AND checked to enable it in the boot order.

Sorry for these questions, but:
Does your 2012 DVD boot on another computer?
Does your T110 have a DVD drive or a CD drive?
What do you mean by "led on this computer" ... I don't recognized this message.
You could install via USB as a workaround ...

It does make a fair attempt to boot - judging by the noise but then fails with 'led on this computer' thing....

Some say it' "This Operating System cannot be instal .. led on this computer", which is artially shown. I have DVD indeed and another PC can boot using the same DVD.

"This Operating System cannot be installed on this computer"
Is this a Windows message or a system message? At what point does it appear?
Either way, I'd skip it and install via USB:

Hi Josh, how exactly do I use the link you sent me? Will I burn the ISO on a bootable DVD and then boot from it? What am I supposed to setup during the installation?
