hi,
at the first: did you try "scan for h/w changes"
then if i got you right, you installed from this dvd-rom.
after installation you don`t see this dvd-rom.

does tis server in domain? maybe dvd-rom hidden by domain policy.

and just fir be sure, could you reboot your server, and look at the bios... do you have dvd in bios? maybe your dvd is broken

clean NVRAM and restart!

on the mainboard of ML350 G5 : on dip switch SYSTEM MAINTENANCE SWITCH (n°18)

put on switch 6 = ON (Clear NVRAM)
and restart server, wait hte end of process Clearing NVRAM.
put on switch 6 = OFF (No Function)
Restart serveur

hi

were you able to fix that issue with the SATA DVD?

I've seen swtich 6 and system ROM are temporally fix but not permanent :-(


thanks
