  2. If you are using a DVD, connect the external DVD drive to a USB port on the node.
  3. Insert the Appliance OS installation USB into a USB port on the node or the DVD into the external DVD drive.
  4. Power on or restart the node.
    The installation program prompts for the installation mode.
  5. Either press Enter or let the program default to the installation option after 75 seconds.
    The installation program prompts for the procedure you want to perform.
    P) Preserve storage volumes during installation
C) Clear storage volumes during installation
E) Exit the installation
