DB Admin Rights / Server Admin Rights

Dear All,
To be a DBA do you also need to be an administrator on the
server ?
I'm not talking about running SQL Server (I know it can be
done without being an administrator), but for day to day
running its it better to be a Server administrator as
well ?
If the answer is yes, can someone point me to a resource ?
Thanks
