<a name="migrate-topic-create-boot"></a>

Only Dell servers support the ability to install RHEL 9 from a boot USB drive. SuperMicro servers don't support this ability.

1. Obtain the RHEL 9 `.iso` file from [AWS Elemental Software Download page](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/elemental-appliances-software/home?region=us-east-1#/softwaredownloads).

   Find the AWS Elemental product and version they are planning to use. The appropriate ISO file appears beside that version.

1. At your workstation, use a third-party utility (such as PowerISO or ISO2USB) to create a bootable USB drive from your `.iso` file.
