55Chapter 3 Installing Mac OS X Server
Installing Locally
You can install Mac OS X Server directly onto a computer by starting up the computer
from the Mac OS X Server Install Disc. The Installer application guides you through the
interactive installation process. The computer must have a display attached so you can
interact with the Installer. When you install locally, you can use Disk Utility and other
applications in the Installer’s Utilities menu, and you can customize the installation by
selecting items to be installed.
