Chapter 2 Setup and Installation 15
Installing AXD Mac OS X tools involves three steps:
Install Mac OS X Server with minimal options selected Â
Copy AXD Mac OS X tools from the  Admin Tools disc to /Applications/
Configure Mac OS X Server Â
By dedicating a minimal installation of Mac OS X Server for use with AXD Mac OS X
tools, you reduce the risk of server processes interrupting AXD testing.
To install AXD Mac OS X tools:
1 Insert the Mac OS X Server Install DVD.
2 Open the Install Mac OS X Server application, click Restart, and authenticate if
requested.
The computer restarts and opens the Mac OS X Server Installer.
3 Continue through the Installer until you reach the Select Destination step.
4 Select a volume that’s at least 7 GB. If the volume isn’t empty, click Options, select
“Erase and Install,” and then click OK. Click Continue.
5 In Installation Type, click Customize, deselect all checkboxes, and then click Install.
If the volume is very close to 7 GB in size, the Installer might automatically load the
Customize list.
When the Installer finishes installing Mac OS X Server, the computer restarts and the
Mac OS X Server setup assistant opens.
6 In the Server Configuration step of the setup assistant, select Advanced.
7 Continue through the setup assistant and enter information as requested. Don’t enable
any services.
When you finish entering information in the setup assistant, the login window appears.
8 Log in with the user name “root” and the password of the user you created in the
setup assistant.
You must set up and run AXD Mac OS X tools as root. Otherwise, you won’t be able to
test the Xserve you’ve installed AXD Mac OS X tools on.
9 Insert the Admin Tools disc.
If you have a disc image of the Admin Tools disc, double-click the .dmg file to mount
the disc image.
10 Open the Finder and drag the AXD.app file from /AppleXserveDiagnostics/ on the
Admin Tools disc to the /Applications/ folder.
11 If you’re setting up a client Xserve, open the Finder, select the /Applications/ folder,
and choose New Folder from the Action (gear) pop-up menu. Name the folder
AXDClient.
Client Xserve computers are remotely controlled by host computers.
