CD/DVD: Burn the ISO file onto a CD/DVD. With BIOS set to boot from the CD/DVD drive, insert the disk into the machine, and after system boots, simply follow the system prompts to install and configure.
USB key: Write the ISO file to a USB flash drive. With BIOS set to boot from a USB device, plug the USB key into the system and upon boot on-screen instructions will guide you the rest of the way.
