Steps for Installing Mac OS X Server Software
If you purchased a computer with Mac OS X Server software already on it, you don’t need to
install anything else to use the server.
To install Mac OS X Server software, follow these steps:
1 Decide how you’re going to use the server.
For example, will you use the server for QuickTime Streaming? for basic file sharing? as a
NetBoot server? How you’ll use the computer determines how you format its disks.
2 Format the computer’s hard disk(s) according to the recommendations and procedure in
Chapter 2, “Formatting Your Hard Disk,” on page 9.
3 Install Mac OS X Server software according to the instructions in Chapter 3, “Installing Mac
OS X Server,” on page 13.
4 Use the Setup Assistant to configure your system.
The Setup Assistant starts automatically at the end of the software installation process.
5 If you are going to install WebObjects or NetBoot server software, follow the instructions in
Chapter 4, “Installing WebObjects,” on page 17 or Chapter 5, “Setting Up Your NetBoot
Server,” on page 21.
The NetBoot Setup Assistant starts automatically after you install the NetBoot server
software.
