34 Chapter 2 Installing Mac OS X Server
Installing Locally
You can install Mac OS X Server directly onto the target server by starting up the server
from the Mac OS X Server Install Disc. The Installer application guides you through the
interactive installation process. The target server must have a display attached so you
can interact with the Installer.
You can perform:
 A new installation of Mac OS X Server on a disk that doesn’t already have Mac OS X
Server or Mac OS X installed
 A clean installation, which installs Mac OS X Server after erasing and formatting a
target disk
To install Mac OS X Server locally:
1 If you’re planning to erase or partition the target disk, make sure you have a backup of
the disk.
2 Make sure the computer has an active connection to a secure Ethernet network.
This network connection is needed to set up the server’s Open Directory domain.
3 Start up the computer, log in if necessary, and insert the Mac OS X Server Install Disc into
the DVD drive.
