the arrow button.

AirPort network in the pop-up menu under the startup disk list.
2 Continue through the Mac OS X Server Installer until you reach the step where you
select the disk to install Mac OS X Server on.
3 Select a volume that’s at least 10 GB.
If the volume isn’t empty, choose Utilities > Disk Utility. Select the volume. In the Erase
pane, click Erase. After the volume is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
4 Click Customize, deselect all checkboxes, click OK, and then click Install.
When the Installer finishes installing Mac OS X Server, the computer restarts and the
Mac OS X Server setup assistant opens.
5 Continue through the setup assistant and enter any information that’s requested. In
the Users and Groups step, select Configure Manually. Don’t enable any services.
When you finish entering information in the setup assistant, the login window appears.
6 Log in with the user name “root” and the password of the user you created in the
setup assistant.
You must set up and run Server Diagnostics Mac OS X as root. Otherwise, you won’t be
able to test the server you’ve installed Server Diagnostics Mac OS X on.
7 If the server has an optical drive, insert the Admin Tools disc. If it doesn’t have an
optical drive, do the following:
a Insert the Admin Tools disc in a computer with an optical drive.
The computer must be on the same subnet as the server.
b On the computer with the optical drive, open System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select “DVD or CD Sharing.”
c On the server, open a Finder window and select Remote Disc (under Devices on
the left). Select the computer with the disc inserted. If the disc isn’t listed, click “Ask
to use.” On the computer with the disc inserted, click Accept when a dialog appears
asking if you want to give permission for your server to use your DVD drive.
After doing this, you can use the disc as if it’s inserted in the server.
