Where to Go from Here

When you finish installing the Xserve, look in the following guides for information
about starting up, configuring, and using it.

Starting Up the Xserve

The Xserve User Guide (a PDF file on the Admin Tools disc) includes:

An overview of Xserve controls and components

Â

Information about how to start up and shut down the Xserve

Â

Tips for monitoring the status of the Xserve and the services it hosts

Â

Instructions for updating or reinstalling the server software

Â

Solutions to some common problems

Â

Configuring the Server Software

The first time you turn on the Xserve, Server Assistant asks you for basic information
that Mac OS X Server needs in order to start up and connect to the network. For help
with the setup process, see Mac OS X Server: Getting Started on the Admin Tools disc that
comes with the Xserve.

Setting Up RAID Volumes

If your Xserve includes an Xserve RAID Card, see the RAID Utility User Guide (available
at www.apple.com/xserve/resources.html) or the RAID Utility onscreen help for
information about setting up RAID sets and volumes using the Xserve drive modules.
