An external USB ODD and USB keyboard must be connected before starting the installation. You have to connect the USB keyboard before turning the computer on.

If you connect the USB keyboard during the installation, the system will not recognize the USB keyboard.

Insert the system recovery media into the external USB ODD and turn the computer on.

When the system restarts, the message "Press any key to boot from DVD" is displayed. You do not need to press anything.
