Xserve performance benchmark
Performance Chart

SPEC performance: Over 5 times faster than Xserve G5 with dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5.(2)

Redundant power supply option
For extra peace of mind, you can add a second hot-swappable power supply and connect each to a separate UPS or power circuit. In case of a outage in one circuit, the second supply takes over without a loss in service.

Optional SuperDrive
Configure your Xserve with a Combo drive or double-layer SuperDrive for reading and burning optical media.

Lights-out management
Control your Xserve without ever trekking to the server rack. Power it on or off, reboot, monitor, and more from a remote Mac connected via Ethernet — no extra hardware or software required.


Up to 32GB of memory Xserve uses the new fully buffered (FB-DIMM) memory standard, which allows for more capacity, faster speeds, and greater reliability than previous technologies. You can add up to 32GB of 667MHz DDR2 ECC memory with high-availability features such as ECC on-demand scrubbing and embedded diagnostics capabilities.

PCI Express expansion Two open PCI Express slots, each x8 wide, provide independent throughput of up to 2GB/s each. One slot can even be configured as PCI-X for compatibility with existing expansion cards. Built-in graphics Xserve now includes a built-in ATI Radeon X1300 graphics card with mini-DVI output that can power a DVI or VGA display. An optional PCI Express graphics card provides 256MB of SDRAM with a dual-link DVI output.	Unlimited-client Mac OS X Server Your Xserve ships with Mac OS X Server 10.4, the world's most advanced server operating system that works with an unlimited number of Mac, Windows, Linux, and Unix clients. Powerful client management services make Xserve the ultimate server for Mac OS X workgroups.
