General Information
Overview
Xserve is a server designed to mount into a rack; Apple mends that you remove the
Xserve from the rack before replacing or installing all parts except hard drives. You can
replace hard drives while the server is operating and still in the rack.
There are three versions of the Xserve server. To identify the versions, check the front
panel. The original Xserve includes a tray-load optical drive on the far right side; Xserve
(Slot Load) includes a slot-load optical drive. Xserve (Cluster Node) has no optical drive
and just one hard drive.
Note: For the most part, the procedures in this chapter apply to all versions of the server.
When different procedures are required, the version is specified in the topic heading.

Mounting in a Rack
For information on mounting Xserve in a rack, see the Xserve User’s Guide.
Tools
Many take-apart procedures do not require tools. You may, however, find a medium-sized
flatblade and Phillips screwdriver useful, as indicated at the beginning of some
procedures. If the server is locked, you will also need the server’s Allen wrench key.
Server Identifier Light/Button
The identifier light on the server’s front panel turns on when internal sensors or a systems
administrator detects a problem with the server. (The light can also be turned on by
pressing the identifier button.) This indicator will help you locate which server in a rack
needs servicing. In addition, you can use the identifier button on the Xserve (Slot Load)
and Xserve (Cluster Node) to initiate several mands to the system. See
“Entering Firmware mands From the Front Panel” in the Troubleshooting
chapter.
