I'm having trouble getting into BIOs Setup from Supermicro IPMI "KVM" - Remote Control Console Redirection. I need to change the boot order to CDROM first. I'm running Windows 2008 server.

After some Googling, it says here that the method is to:

Press TAB to enter Setup screen. Press Esc twice to take effect.

A month ago, I tried that 30-40 times + DEL, over 2 hours, it worked. Now, I've been trying the same key combination for more than an hour, rebooting each time it failed, it still doesn't work.

Note: I've only got a notebook computer, no extra monitor.
