Check Install Instructions for Your Build Type

Install instructions for the ISO Image Files (CD/DVD) differs slightly to the other build types:

ISO image files, burned to CD/DVD?

The ISO image, on a CD/DVD, is installed onto a physical Server, requiring a few additional  
installation steps, such as formatting your hard drive and configuring the Firewall. When 
enabling the firewall, ensure that you allow traffic to HTTP and HTTPS ports. To do this, allow 
access to the following service: 'Web Server (HTTP, HTTPS)'. When you're done, go to step 4.

Other build types - i.e Virtual Server? Go to step 4.
