What error do you get when you try to boot the DVD?

Which v2 Release version are you using?

Does your server meet the minimum Firmware and H/W Requirements?

The installation DVD's are certainly bootable. So :
-> Your DVD is bad (never had that myself before)
-> Be sure to insert DVD 1 (I guess there are 2 of them)
-> I think an rx2600 allways comes with a DVD drive, but please check for sure it is not a CD drive. If so, you will have to replace the drive, or trequest installation CD's instead of DVD's.
