Installing RouterOS"mikrotik" with CD-Install


Quoting one of e-books


To install the RouterOS using a CD you will need a CD-writer and a blank CD. Burn the CD-image
(an .iso file) to a CD. The archive with image can be downloaded here.

Follow the instructions to install RouterOS using CD-Install:

1. After downloading the CD image from www.mikrotik.com you will have an ISO file on your
computer:

2. Open a CD Writing software, like Ahead NERO as in this example:

3. In the program, choose Burn Image entry from the Recorder menu (there should be similary
named option in all major CD burning programs):

4. Select the recently extracted ISO file and click Open:

5. Finally, click Burn button:

6. Set the first boot device to CDROM in router's BIOS.

7. After booting from CD you will see a menu where to choose packages to install:



Follow the instructions, select needed packages, and press 'i' to install the software.

8. You will be asked for 2 questions:

Warning: all data on the disk will be erased!
Continue? [y/n]


Press [Y] to continue or [N] to abort the installation.

Do you want to keep old configuration? [y/n]:


You should choose whether you want to keep old configuration (press [Y]) or to erase the
configuration permanently (press [N]) and continue without saving it. For a fresh installation,
press [N].

Formatting disk...


The system will install selected packages. After that you will be prompted to press 'Enter'.
Before doing that, remove the CD from your CD-Drive:

Software installed.
Press ENTER to reboot


Note: after the installation you will have to enter the Software key. See this manual how to do it.
