General Information
Overview
Xserve G5 is a server designed to mount into a rack; Apple mends that you remove
the Xserve G5 server 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.
To identify versions of the Xserve G5, check the front panel. Xserve G5 and Xserve G5
(January 2005) include a slot-load optical drive and three hard drives. Xserve G5 (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.

2 gigabyte memory modules became a configurable purchase option for Xserve G5
computers starting in March 2005. Only Xserve G5 version 2 logic boards labeled as
shown below accept 2 gigabyte (GB) memory modules (DIMMs). Check for this label
before you install memory or change logic boards.
