Removing the Server From Its Packaging
To protect its precision components, the server is shipped in special packaging, with a
temporary plastic faceplate covering its front panel. You need to remove this faceplate before
opening the server or installing it in a rack.
Xserve is specifically designed for rack mounting. It is not designed for use as a desktop
computer.
Note:
If at all possible, work with another person when handling the server.
Follow these steps to remove the server from its carton and remove the faceplate.
1
Open the carton, remove any foam or other packaging, and fold back the plastic covering the
server.
2
With one person holding the server on each side, carefully lift the unit and place it on a table.
Warning
Do not place a monitor or any other equipment on top of the server. Any
weight on the server’s case could damage the components inside the unit.
