System Requirements for Installing Mac OS X Server v10.6
The Macintosh desktop computer or server onto which you install
Mac OS X Server v10.6 must have:
An Intel processor Â
At least 2 gigabytes (GB) of random access memory (RAM) Â
At least 10 gigabytes (GB) of available disk space Â
A new serial number for Mac OS X Server v10.6 Â
The serial number used with any previous version of Mac OS X Server will not allow
registration for v10.6.
A built-in DVD drive is convenient but not required.
A display and keyboard are optional. You can install server software on a computer
that has no display and keyboard by using an administrator computer. For more
information, see “Setting Up an Administrator Computer” on page 12 4 .
If you’re using an installation disc for Mac OS X Server v10.6, you can control
installation from another computer using VNC viewer software. Open-source VNC
viewer software is available. Apple Remote Desktop, described on “Apple Remote
Desktop” (page 50), includes VNC viewer capability.
