42 Chapter 3 Setting Up Mac OS X Server

Setting Up a Server Locally

You can set up a new server or a computer with Mac OS X Server newly installed by

using the server’s keyboard, mouse, and display.

To set up a server locally:

1 Prepare for setup by filling out a printed copy of the Installation & Setup Worksheet.

The Installation & Setup Worksheet is located on the Mac OS X Server Install Disc in the

Documentation folder.

2 If you have DHCP or DNS service provided by your ISP, Internet router, or other servers

on your network, make sure they are set up for your new server and are running.

3 If you want to set up your server as an Internet gateway, so the server shares an

Internet connection with other computers on your network, make sure of the

following:

Â One Ethernet port, or interface, connects to your DSL modem, cable modem, or other

Internet source. The Internet interface must have a public IP address (not a private IP

ad dr es s l i k e 10 . 0 .1.1 o r 192 .16 8.1.1 ).

Â Another Ethernet port connects to your local network.

During setup, you specify which port connects to the Internet. For example, if the

server’s built-in Ethernet port connects to the Internet, you would specify it as the

Internet port. If your server has more than two Ethernet ports, you select at least one of

them as a local network port.

4 If the server is off, turn it on.

When the server starts up, Server Assistant opens automatically.

5 Proceed through the Server Assistant panes, following the onscreen instructions and

entering the information you’ve recorded on the Installation & Setup Worksheet.
