We have a server Mac mini[1] running OS X 10.6.8 Server [...]
Does this plan sound reasonable:
1. Place the SDD in an external drive enclosure and format it as Mac OS
Extended Journaled.
2. Make an image(?) copy of the HDD drive's 1st partition onto the SDD (how?)
3. Physically swap out the HDD with the SDD.
4. Boot up and run.
Any recommendations on how to accomplish step 2?
yes very reasonable
2. use Carbon Copy Cloner; follow the instructions carefully (i am using the
3.4.7 freeware version without problems on OS X 10.7.5); SuperDuper probably
works about as well

2.5. verify you can boot from the external drive before swapping it in
2.75. if you have installed software with an activation-type license scheme,
deactivate it first on the original drive before launching and activating on
the new drive
