At Psychz, every server comes with a much more advanced interface called Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). Just like if you were sitting in that chilly data center with a serial keyboard and mouse plugged in. The IPMI will allow you remote management for bios, reboot, shutdown, os install, etc.

You can refer to our article to learn how to access your dedicated server https://www.psychz.net/client/kb/en/how-to-access-your-dedicated-server-ipmi.html

If you want to install your own copy of Windows or Linux operating system, you can choose to do so by giving your ISO to our support team and they will install the OS for you. Our support team is available 24/7 so you can relax and our team will do the rest for you. However, if you want perform the installation yourself, you can simply do it by mounting your ISO using the IPMI tool. Kindly follow the steps given below to mount the ISO using IPMI tool

Please be sure to have the latest version of java or openjdk package installed on your system before attempting to open the IPMI KVM.  In latest versions of browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox), Java might be limited.  Therefore, please try using Internet Explorer with the latest Java version. 

  1. To mount virtual media, connect to the IPMI web interface of the system by entering its IP address into the web browser on your system.
  2. Navigate to Remote Control > Console Redirection, then click on Launch Console. Depending on your browser and BMC hardware, this will either launch the console immediately, or it will download a file called “launch.jnlp”. Open the launch.jnlp file after it downloads to your system.
  3. Once the console redirection window is open, select the Virtual Media menu option in the upper left of the window, then select Virtual Storage.
  4. Click on the CDROM/ISO tab, then select ISO File from the Logical Drive Type from the drop-down list. 
  5. Click on the Open Image button to the right to browse local folders on your client system for the .iso file. Select an .iso and click on Open.
  6. After selecting the .iso file, click on the Plug In button below to ensure that the file is now mounted as a virtual CDROM device. Click on OK to close the Virtual Storage window.
  7. Use the remote console to reboot the system. This can be done with the Power Control menu item to send a physical chassis power reset, or by a soft reboot from the operating system.
  8. Hit  during POST to open a one-time boot menu. Navigate with the arrow keys and highlight IPMI Virtual CDROM from the list, then hit  to accept and boot from the virtual media.

NOTE: The OS installation using your own ISO from your local machine will take longer than usual. Also, please note that to perform this installation you need to have a steady and stable internet connection with a good bandwidth and speed.

Hope you find above information helpful and informative. Kindly upvote this response if you like it.
