60 Chapter 3 Installing Server Software
If you use VNC viewer software to remotely control installation of Mac OS X Server
version 10.4.7 or later, it may let you select the target server from a list of available
VNC servers. If not, you need to enter the IP address of the server (in IPv4
format: 000.000.000.000).
The target server’s IP address is assigned by a DHCP server on the network; if no
DHCP server exists, the target server uses a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address unique among
servers on the local subnet. Later, when you set up the server, you can change the IP
address.
 The preset password for the target server.
The password consists of the first 8 digits of the server’s built-in hardware serial
number. To find a server’s serial number, look for a label on the server. Older
computers have no built-in hardware serial numbers; for these systems, use
12345678.
Installing Server Software Interactively From the Installation
Disc
You can use the installation disc to install server software interactively on a local server,
on a remote server, or on a computer with Mac OS X preinstalled.
Connecting to the Network During Installation
If you want to use a server as an Open Directory master, make sure it has an active
Ethernet connection to a secure network before installation and initial setup.
Installing Server Software on a Networked Computer
When you start up a computer from a server installation disc, SSH starts automatically
so that remote installations can be performed.
