Apple Workgroup Server 8150/110 - Manual (Page 83)

Starting up from the CD-ROM drive
You can use the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc to start up your
server from the built-in CD-ROM drive (even if your startup disk is damaged).
1 With your server turned on, place the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc in the CD-
ROM drive’s tray with the label facing up, and close the tray.
2 Choose Restart from the Special menu.
3 Immediately press and hold down the “C” letter key. Release the key after the server
starts up.
IMPORTANT For best performance, start up your server from its internal hard
disk. (You can check that the internal hard disk is selected in the Startup Disk
control panel.) Use the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc only as a
temporary startup system.
Starting up from the floppy drive
If you need to do so, you can use floppy disks that contain system software
to start up your server. Use the disks you created with your backup program or
by copying system software from the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM
disc. See the section “Creating Startup Floppy Disks” later in this chapter for
more information.

Insert the disk named Install Me First into the floppy drive and start up your server.
IMPORTANT Make sure you’ve labeled your disks exactly as the Disk Copy
program names them, as described in the section “Creating Startup Floppy
Disks” later in this chapter.
An Installer screen opens automatically to let you reinstall system software on
your hard disk.
Note: If you want to start up your server from a floppy disk without installing
system software, use the disk named Disk Tools.
