Xserve G5 Take Apart -

General Information

Overview

Xserve G5 is a server designed to mount into a rack; Apple recommends 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.

There are two versions of the Xserve G5 server. To identify the versions, check the front
panel. Xserve G5 includes 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 both versions of the

server. When different procedures are required, the version is specified in the topic
heading.
