6 Read and agree to the software license agreement.

expected state before clicking Install to begin installing.
If you want to select the language translations, printer drivers, and other optional items
that will be installed, click Customize.
You can quit installation before it begins by using the Mac OS X Installer menu.
8 After installation is complete, the computer restarts and Server Assistant opens so you
can set up the server.
For information, see “Setting Up a Server Locally” on page 63.
Installing Remotely
Using Server Admin and Server Assistant on an administrator computer, you can install
Mac OS X Server on another computer over the network. The computer you’re installing
on doesn’t need a display, but it does need a DVD drive for the Mac OS X Server Install
Disc. If the computer doesn’t have a built-in DVD drive, you can attach an external
FireWire DVD drive or a Mac that has a DVD drive and is operating in target disk mode.
You can perform:
A new installation of Mac OS X Server on a disk that doesn’t already have Mac OS X Â
Server or Mac OS X installed
A clean installation, which installs Mac OS X Server after erasing and formatting a Â
target disk
