Read up on this article:

Then choose the option which suits your environment best.
Goodluck

Apr 8, 2015 1:24 PM in response to jeppingby Looter,I have a similar question but that article refers to servers running Server versions PRIOR TO 10.9. Not sure of best practice if already at 10.9.

Apr 9, 2015 1:54 AM in response to smoanghenby nick101,If at all feasible, I would try the following:
Back up and ensure your backup(s) are good
First option:
- Download the full 10.10.x installer from Apple (i.e. rather than the updater) and then run it
- Download Server 4x and install it
Second (highly drastic) option (and the one I've just employed to resolve a number of irritating issues; hopefully you won't need this because it's a lot of work
- Download the 10.10.x installer and make a bootable external drive with it
- Use Carbon Copy Cloner or similar to back up your server
- Back up separately key configuration data from your server
- Boot from the 10.10 install disk you made
- Erase the server hard drive and install 10.10
- Install Server 4x and restore files you need from your CCC clone
- There are specific items in the Server config that you need to make sure you can recreate: Open Directory database, DNS settings and others.
