Installing Optional Components Before You Begin
To work inside the Xserve, you need to remove it from the rack. If you plan to install
additional memory, PCI cards, or other internal components before you start using the
Xserve, you can do so either before or after you install the Xserve in the rack. For help
installing components, see Chapter 2.
