The easiest way I can think of (without somehow copying the cd over...) is to (i) mount the cd drive to e.g. /mnt/cd on the other computer, (ii) export /mnt/cd as an nfs share from that computer, and (iii) mount the nfs share on the server, which'll be as good as having the cd on the server.
There are plenty of tutorials on nfs shares on t'web - if you're not comfortable with that you can always just tar the cd up and set your other computer up as an ftp/http server to get it.
Don't know which option would take longer...
