Known quirks
- Apple's first 1U rack server — debuted at WWDC 2002 as a pivot to the data center
- Front-panel LED array served as a load/status visualizer — iconic among Xserve fans
- Hot-swap ATA drive sleds used proprietary carriers — scarce aftermarket support
- Shipped with unlimited-client Mac OS X Server license — a big change vs Apple Network Server
- Single CPU models can be field-upgraded to dual by swapping the CPU card
