36 Chapter 2 Installing Mac OS X Server
Preparing an Administrator Computer
You can use an administrator computer to install Mac OS X Server on another
computer over the network. As illustrated below, you start up the server using the
Mac OS X Server Install Disc and use Server Assistant application the administrator
computer to perform remote installation. The target server doesn’t need a display.
You can also use an administrator computer to set up and manage Mac OS X Server
remotely. For information, see “Setting Up a Server Remotely” on page 44 and
“Connecting Server Preferences to a Remote Server” on page 51.
You make a Mac OS X computer into an administrator computer by installing server
administration software on it. If you have another server with Leopard Server already
set up, you can use it as an administrator computer as well.
