If you want to connect a host computer directly to the Xserve, and the host computer
doesn’t provide DHCP service on the port used to directly connect to the Xserve, you’ll
need to create a le on the Xserve that assigns an IP address to the Xserve. However,
if the host computer provides DHCP service, don’t create this le. For information
about how to nd out if a computer is providing DHCP service, see Network Services
Administration at:
www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources
To install AXD EFI tools:
1 Insert the Admin Tools disc.
2 Open AppleXserveDiagnosticsEFI.pkg (located on the disc in
/AppleXserveDiagnostics/).
3 Follow the onscreen instructions, and at the Select Destination step, choose a volume
that has at least 30 MB of space available.
4 If you’re prompted to authenticate, authenticate as a user with administrator privileges.
5 If you want to connect a host computer directly to the Xserve and the host computer
doesn’t provide DHCP service on the port used to directly connect to the Xserve,
do the following:
a Open TextEdit (located in /Applications/).
b In the body of a new le, enter an IP address that’s not in use by the host computer.
For example, enter:
12 3.123.12 3.123
If TextEdit doesn’t open with a new blank le, choose File > New.
c Choose Format > Make Plain Text.
d Choose File > Save As.
e Name the le axd_set_ip_address, and then change the location of the le to the
volume with AXD EFI tools installed.
f Select “If no extension is provided, use ‘.txt’,” and then click Save.
Installing AXD Mac OS X Tools
Before you install AXD Mac OS X tools, make sure that your storage device uses the
GUID Partition Table partition scheme and that it has an empty volume with 7 GB of
available space. For more information, see “Setting Up a Storage Device for AXD Tools
Installation” on page 12 .
If you’re performing this task to install AXD Mac OS X tools on an internal volume on
the Xserve, you’ll need administrator access to the Xserve. If you’re performing this task
to install AXD Mac OS X tools on a portable storage device, you can use any computer
that you have administrator access to.
