each server and there are columns of check boxes to assign Web, search, and
index roles. For each front-end Web server (SPS-01, SPS-02), select Web and
Search. For the index server (SPS-03), select Index as illustrated in Figure 12-22.
For Large Server Farms. On the Change Component Assignments page, in
the Component Assignment section, there is a row of check boxes for each
server and there are columns of check boxes to assign Web, search, and index
roles. For each front-end Web server (SPS-01, SPS-02), select Web. For each
search server (SPS-04, SPS-05), select Search. For the index server (SPS-03),
select Index as illustrated in Figure 12-23.
