850R Boot from CD

I am extremely new to server setup and just got my hands on a Proliant 850R. My goal is to get windows server 2000 on it. I created the 4 disc configuration utility and attempted to run it. I booted with disc 1 inserted and it started the config utility and then eventually rebooted after I told it to install the config utility in a newly created partition. Now when it boots I get a message saying, "the configuration utility is not present on the fixed disc." My alternate question is what did i do incorrectly with running the setup utility?
My main question is how do i force it to boot from the cdrom so i can run the smartstart? I appreciate any and all information regarding these issues.

You should be able to use the system configuration utility SCU that you downloaded to configure the server to boot from the cdrom...
