This chapter explains how to install the Splash Server software on the Server CPU,
and how to set up the Splash Server for file sharing with client workstations.
Before You Begin
The Installer lets you perform an Easy Installation or a Custom Installation. You
automatically install all the files you need, including PostScript fonts, when you
perform the Easy Installation. Perform a Custom Installation when you want to
install only some of the files; for example, to restore lost and damaged files or to
install files on more than one hard disk.
Splash Servers require at least 50 MB of free hard disk space; Macintosh Client
machines require at least 5 MB of free hard disk space; Windows Client machines
require at least 2 MB of free hard disk space. We recommend that you install the
software on the startup disk of the Splash Server if the hard disk has sufficient space
available. Be sure that slash characters (“/”) do not appear in the hard disk name or
any folder names in the path of the Splash folder. If a slash appears, the Splash
Server application will not start.
The Splash Server must run on System 7.5.3 or later operating system to work with
the Splash Server software. In addition, Open Transport v1.1.1 or later must be
installed on the Splash Server Power Macintosh.
