Make sure you have the ‘Client Integrations Plugin’ installed for your
browser

Navigate to the ‘Summary’ tab for the Virtual Machine
Click the small dropdown arrow next to ‘CD/DVD Drive 1’ and select
‘Connect to CD/DVD image on a local disk’
Allow access if prompted
The file browser will open; navigate to the ISO file you want to mount, select
it, and then click ‘Open’ to attach it
The device status for ‘CD/DVD Drive 1’ should now display ‘connected’
Open the console (or log in remotely) to the VM and the mounted ISO is now
available for use.
You should disconnect the drive prior to restarting the virtual machine (it will
automatically be disconnected during a restart as well)
