You can use the installation DVD for Mac OS X Server version 10.4.7 to upgrade a
desktop computer that:

2 Insert the installation DVD, open the Other Installs folder, and double-click
MacOSXServerInstall.mpkg to run the Installer.
3 When the Installer finishes, your computer restarts automatically and Server Assistant
opens to let you set up the server.
4 After the server restarts, use Software Update to install any available server software
updates.
