<a name="migrate-topic-install-rhel-smc"></a>

You install RHEL 9 on a SuperMicro chassis from the IPMI interface.

1. Install the Java applet and change the security level. See [Step 1: Install Java applet](migrate-topic-uefi-supermicro.md#migrate-topic-uefi-supermicro-applet).

1. Make sure that there are no physical USB drives plugged into the system.

1. Make sure that you are at a workstation that has direct access to the network that the IPMI interface is on. 
**Note**  
Don't use a VPN connection.

1. Copy the ISO file for RHEL 9 to your laptop. 

1. Open the IPMI remote console viewer. On the main menu, choose **Virtual Media** or **Media**, then choose **Virtual Storage/Virtual Media Wizard**. 

1. Choose **CD/ISO media** and browse to the ISO that you want to use. Choose **Connect/Plug in**. 

1. Reboot the system. The image should start to boot. 

   If the image does not start to boot, click the **F11** key while the splash screen is displaying. Then when the **Please select boot device** prompt appear, choose **UEFI: Virtual CDROM**. Move this item to the top of the list by pressing the **\$1 **key repeatedly. 

1. The installer starts. At the prompt, enter the hostname of the appliance and press **Enter**. The installation starts and takes 20 to 30 minutes.

1. When the installation completes, press the **Enter** key to reboot. 

1. Plug Out the ISO before it reboots or it takes you back into the kickstart menu. 

1. You can now install any third-party packages. To obtain these packages, see [Working with RPM repository](migrate-topic-rpm-repository.md).
