Chapter 3 Installing Server Software 55
A display and keyboard are optional. You can install server software on a computer that
has no display and keyboard by using an administrator computer. “Setting Up an
Administrator Computer” on page 122 describes how to set one up.
If you’re using an installation disc for Mac OS X Server version 10.4.7 or later, you can
control installation from another computer using VNC viewer software. Open source
VNC viewer software is available, and Apple Remote Desktop, described on page 147,
includes VNC viewer capability.
Information You Need
Use the Mac OS X Server Worksheet for Version 10.4 or Later to record information for
each server you want to install. The information below provides supplemental
explanations for items on the worksheet. The worksheet is located on the Mac OS X
Server installation disc in the Documentation folder. The Preface tells you where else
you can find the worksheet.
Using the Server Installation Disc
You can install the server software using an installation DVD. If you’re installing a
version of Mac OS X Server earlier than 10.4.7, you can also use a set of installation CDs.
The installation DVD contains everything you need to install the server software, plus
an installer for Xcode Tools (in the Other Installs folder).
If you have the installation CDs (not available for version 10.4.7 or later), only the first
two are required. Use the third CD if you want to install optional printer drivers.
The installation DVD also contains utilities such as Disk First Aid, Firmware Updates, and
Startup Disk. The first installation CD (if available) contains these utilities as well.
