check the rear panel. Xserve (Late 2006) and Xserve (Early 2008) have two power supply bays on
the right side of the rear panel. Previous Xserve G5 models have a single, built-in power supply.

Tools
You will need the following tools:

Small flat-blade screwdriver •
Nylon probe tool or similar plastic pry tool •
Needlenose pliers •
If the Xserve is locked, you will also need the Xserve’s Allen wrench key.
Note: Many take-apart procedures do not require tools because several internal components are
fastened with thumbscrews for easy removal and replacement.
Server Identifier Light/Button
The identifier light on the Xserve’s front panel turns on when internal sensors or a systems
administrator detects a problem with the Xserve. (The light can also be turned on by pressing
the identifier button.) This indicator will help you locate which Xserve in a rack needs servicing.
