Installing FileMaker Pro Server 1-5
Keep these points in mind:
1 The Thread Manager system extension, which is included on your
FileMaker Pro Server disk, must be installed in the Extensions folder
within the System Folder on your startup disk if you are using System 7.1
or System 7 Pro. If your computer is running System 7.5 or later, the
Installer doesn’t install Thread Manager because its functionality is
included with the system software.
1 If you install onto a disk that isn’t your startup disk, the Installer puts the
Thread Manager and the MacIPX files in their preferred locations in the
System Folder of the startup disk.
Easy installation
To install FileMaker Pro Server on your hard disk:
1. Disable system extensions—especially virus protection software—and
file sharing.
A quick way to disable system extensions is to restart your computer
while holding down the Shift key.
2. Insert the Disk 1 backup disk into the floppy disk drive to install
the application.
Lock your original FileMaker Pro Server disk and keep it in a safe place.
See “Make a backup copy” on page 1-3 for more information.
You see the Disk 1 window on your screen. If you see only the Disk 1 disk
icon, double-click the icon to open its window.
3. Double-click the Installer icon to start the Installer.
4. Click Continue to dismiss the Installer welcome screen.
You see the Install dialog box.
