Step 4: Configure services
To finish configuring Mac OS X Server services, use the Server Admin application. If you
haven’t already installed the admin software on your admin computer, read “Installing
Administration Software” on page 17.
For information about Server Admin, read “Server Admin” on page 65. When you’re finished
configuring services, you can perform any of the steps that follow, depending on your needs.
Step 5: Set server network and system preferences
Since you’re working directly on the server, you can set some network and system
configurations using the local System Preferences. You can change these settings later using
SSH and the command-line tools described later in this guide.
Step 6: Install additional software
To install additional software packages on the server, insert the application disc in the
server’s optical drive, and follow the instructions in the software installer.
You can also run Software Update (located in /System Preferences/Software Update) to check
for and install newer versions of the software on your server.
You can also install software on the server remotely. See Chapter 7, “Using Software
Installation Tools and Applications.”
Step 7: Perform any additional tasks
While you’re still connected to the server, you may want to perform any of the additional
setup tasks mentioned in “Additional Setup Tasks” on page 26.
Step 8: Disconnect the keyboard and monitor
When you’ve finished all the installation and configuration you planned, you can disconnect
the monitor and keyboard if you plan to administer the server remotely. You may also leave
the monitor and keyboard attached.
