Instructions for the Installation Worksheet
These instructions explain the settings in the worksheet that begins on page 5.
Destination—remote server
Server Assistant lists computers on the local network (IP subnet) that have been started up using a
Mac OS X Server Install Disc. Each of these computers is identified by its IP address, DNS name, and
MAC address (also called the Ethernet address or hardware address). You can specify an unlisted
server by entering its IP address or DNS name.
To begin remote installation, you must enter the remote computer’s preset password. It consists of
the first 8 characters of the computer’s built-in hardware serial number, located on a label on the
computer. For computers with no built-in hardware serial number, use 12345678.
Install language
The language you select affects the server’s time and date formats, text that appears in the server
administration applications, and the default encoding used by the file sharing service (AFP protocol).
It doesn’t affect the language of client computers. For example, you can administer a server in English
even though it supports client computers that use Japanese.
Type of installation
You can perform a new installation of Mac OS X Server on a disk that doesn’t already have Mac OS X
Server or Mac OS X installed. You can also perform a clean installation, which erases and formats the
target disk before installing Mac OS X Server. For information about upgrading a server with an earlier
version of Mac OS X Server, see Upgrading and Migrating, which is available from the Mac OS X Server
documentation website at www.apple.com/server/documentation.
