  1. Edit the VM and delete the ISO disk
    1. Abiquo will delete the ISO file from the datastore but keep the CD drive as a Client Device in device mode Passthrough CD-ROM. 
      1. Abiquo will automatically answer the system boot prompt to force eject from a locked device
      The ISO disk will now have no file reference and the disk capacity will be 0. It will continue to occupy one of four slots on an IDE controller.
  2. To remove the empty DCD-ROM drive from Abiquo and the hypervisor:
    1. If the ISO disk is attached to an IDE controller, power off the VM
    2. Edit the VM and delete the CD-ROM drive

Note that Abiquo will move the CD-ROM drive to the last position in the boot sequence after you reconfigure a VM to add an any extra diskdisks. This means that when you delete an ISO drive, it will not affect the boot order.
