This server is built into a piece of Apple history, bringing new upgradable hardware to the steel cabinet using custom PCB's to re-enable front IO and drive caddie functionality. Check out the linked project pages above.

== History ==

The **Xserve** was a series of rack-mounted servers manufactured by Apple Inc. between 2002 and 2011. It was Apple's first rack-mounted server,[1] and could function as a file server, web server or run high-performance computing applications in clusters.

Xserve RAID held up to 14 hot-swappable [[Ultra-ATA>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Technology_Attachment]] hard drives, and had a capacity of 10.5 [[TB>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabyte]] when filled with 750 [[GB>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte]] modules. Xserve RAID supported [[RAID>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks]] levels of 0, 0+1, 1, 3 and 5 in hardware, hybrid RAID levels such as 10 and 50 could be created in software.^^[[~[1~]>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID#cite_note-Users_Guide-1]]^^ It was [[rack-mountable>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19-inch_rack]] and was 3[[U>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_unit]] high.^^[[~[1~]>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID#cite_note-Users_Guide-1]]^^

Although the Xserve RAID contained 14 drives, they were split into two independent groups of 7 drives each managed by an identical RAID controller. Importantly, the controllers were independent, but not redundant; each managed seven of the storage array's fourteen drives, given a failure of one of the controllers those 7 drives were not accessible: the other could not take over its duties. Xserve RAID did, however, have redundant cooling units and power supplies. Xserve RAID's ports were two [[Fibre Channel>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel]] ports for regular data transfer, a [[10/100>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10/100]]Ethernet port for remote management, and a serial port for [[UPS>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply]] communication via the [[Simple Signaling Protocol>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Simple_Signaling_Protocol&action=edit&redlink=1]].

Xserve RAID was available in models costing between [[US$>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar]]5,999 and US$10,999^^[[~[2~]>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID#cite_note-PR20030210-2]][[~[3~]>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID#cite_note-PR20040106-3]]^^ (later US$12,999),^^[[~[4~]>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID#cite_note-PR20041019-4]][[~[5~]>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID#cite_note-5]]^^ plus configuration and support options.

The Xserve RAID was discontinued on February 19, 2008.^^[[~[6~]>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID#cite_note-MW-6]]^^
