About Installing and Setting Up Final Cut Server
The first step in installing Final Cut Server is to use the Final Cut Server installer.
Before you use the Final Cut Server installer, be sure to familiarize yourself with the
application’s system requirements. You can read about them in the Before You Install
Final Cut Server document, located on the Final Cut Server installation disc.
Important: Final Cut Server can only be installed on a system with
Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard or Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard installed.
Note: The installation disc contains the files required to install Final Cut Server on either
PowerPC-based or Intel-based Macintosh computers that have Leopard or
Leopard Server installed. The installation process is identical for both.
