Starting Up from the Install DVD

This is the simplest method of starting the computer, if you have physical access the server and it has DVD drive.

Installer application or

installer tool in Terminal application

If the target server is an Xserve with a built-in DVD drive, start the server using the Install DVD by following the instructions in Xserve User’s Guide for starting from a system disc.

If the target server has no built-in DVD drive, you can use an external FireWire DVD drive. You can also install server software on an Xserve system that lacks a DVD drive by moving its drive module to another Xserve system that has a DVD drive.

To start up the computer with the installation disc.

1Turn on the computer and insert the Mac OS X Server Install Disc into the DVD drive.

If you’re using a built-in DVD drive, you can restart the computer directly to the DVD by holding down the C key. You can release the C key when you see the Apple logo.

Alternatively, you can restart the computer by holding down the Option key, selecting the icon representing the installation disc, and then clicking the right arrow. You must use this method if you are starting up from an external DVD drive.

If you’re installing on an Xserve, the procedure for starting up from a DVD may be different.

For more information, see Xserve User’s Guide or the Quick Start guide that came with your Xserve.

2Open the Install Mac OS X Server application and click the Restart button. The application is in the Mac OS X Server Install Disc window.

3If you see an Install button instead of a Restart button in the lower-right corner of the application window, click Install and proceed through the Installer panes by following the onscreen instructions.

Starting Up from an Alternate Partition

For a single server installation, preparing to start up from an alternate partition can be more time-consuming than using the Install DVD. The time required to image, scan, and restore the image to a startup partition might exceed the time taken to install once from the DVD.
