64 Chapter 4 Installation and Setup Overview
Installing Server Software
Some computers come with Mac OS X Server version 10.3 software already installed.
Nonetheless, there are several times you need to install server software, as when you
want to upgrade from a version 10.1 or 10.2 server, change a computer with Mac OS X
into a server, or completely refresh your server environment.
You can install server software:
• From the server install discs
• From an installation image that you set up and store on disk, referred to as
automated installation
Chapter 6, “Installing Server Software,” on page 79 provides detailed instructions for all
the installation options, which are summarized in the following sections.
Local Installation From the Server Install Discs
If the target server has a keyboard and display attached and if it has an optical drive,
you can start installing Mac OS X Server by booting the server from an install disc.
The Installer application, which automatically opens after startup, offers a graphical,
guided way to install server software. See “Using Installer to Install Locally From the
Install Discs” on page 82 for instructions.
If you prefer using the command line, start the Terminal application from the Installer
menu and follow the instructions in “Using the installer Command-Line Tool to
Install Server Software” on page 85.
