Installing Server Diagnostics EFI

Before you install Server Diagnostics EFI, make sure your storage device has a volume that has at least 100 MB of available space and that is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT). The volume will be erased, so make sure all important data on the volume is backed up. For more information, see “Setting Up a Storage Device for Server Diagnostics Installation” on page 11.

To perform these instructions, you need the Admin Tools disc v10.6 or later included with the server.

If you perform this task to install Server Diagnostics EFI on an internal volume on the server, you need administrator access to the server. If you perform this task to install Server Diagnostics EFI on a portable storage device, you can use any computer that you have administrator access to.

If you want to connect a host computer directly to the server and the host computer doesn’t provide DHCP service on the port used to connect to the server, you must create a file on the server that assigns an IP address to the server. However, if the host computer provides DHCP service, don’t create this file. For information about how to find out if a computer is providing DHCP service, see Network Services Administration at www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources.

To install Server Diagnostics EFI:

1Insert the Admin Tools disc.

2On the server, open AppleServerDiagnosticsEFI.pkg (located in /Diagnostics/ on the disc).

3Follow the onscreen instructions, and at the Select Destination step, choose a volume that has at least 100 MB of available space and doesn’t have Mac OS X Server installed.

4If you’re asked to authenticate, authenticate as a user with administrator privileges.
