Chapter 3 Installing Server Software 69
If the target server is an Xserve with a built-in DVD-ROM drive, start the server using
the installation DVD by following the instructions in the Xserve User’s Guide for starting
from a system disc.
If the target server has no built-in DVD-ROM drive, you can use an external FireWire
DVD-ROM drive. You can also install server software on an Xserve system that lacks a
DVD-ROM drive by moving its drive module to another Xserve system that has a DVD-
ROM drive. Instructions for using external FireWire drives are in the Quick Start guide,
Getting Started guide, or User’s Guide that came with your Xserve system or Macintosh
computer.
3 Use your VNC viewer software to open a connection to the target server.
4 Identify the target server.
If the VNC viewer includes the target server in a list of available servers, select it in the
list. Otherwise, enter an IP address in IPv4 format (000.000.000.000).
5 When prompted for a password, type 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.
If you’re installing on an older computer that has no built-in hardware serial number,
use 12345678 for the password.
If you’re using Apple Remote Desktop as a VNC viewer, enter the password but don’t
specify a user name.
6 When the Installer opens, if you want to perform a clean installation, optionally use the
Utilities menu to open Disk Utility to prepare the target disk or partition before
proceeding.
