Apart from some missing tools for energy settings (which can be set by booting the USB and making the changes), and ipmitool being missing they work fine.

I have 5 Xserve 3,1's running Sierra with a patch to make them boot. Choose the new disk and patiently wait for it to complete.

Download El Capitan from the purchased tab in App Store, then follow any of the internet tutorials on making a USB boot disk, then boot from the USB stick and the installer will eventually come up. El Capitan is supported though so you should be able to make it work as it and unless you particularly need to go later I would suggest staying there.
If you want to go later than El Capitan there is a tool to enable it - you cant boot later than El Capitan until that has been run.

It takes ages to boot but then you can create a clean install on a known working Xserve boot drive. I made a bootable USB stick from the El Capitan Image. I skipped trying to find the original SSD that went in there they were too expensive as you had to get one with a ZIF connector. Its a good idea if you are not going to use the optical drive. I also saw a post of a guy that replaced his optical drive with a OWC data doubler and put his startup SSD in its place. I am looking at swapping that Tempo card for a MAXPower RAID mini-SAS 6G-2e card and a different array as my data connections on there are finicky. Sonnet Tempo SATA E2P PCIE running to a 10 bay hot swap drive raid array Startup disk: Samsung 850 EVO SSD on a OWC Mercury Accelsior S PCIE cardĭrive Bays 1 to 3: Seagate Constellation ES 2TB SAS drives (my box has the Apple raid card I hear you can run higher than 2TB drives if you have the non raid card they are not easy to find at an affordable price) OS: OSX Sierra 10.12.5 (it took some help to get this to work check this link out ) Then in that I am running Server 5.3.1 I have an Xserve 3,1 and after some cooperative work with a friend of mine with the same Xserve this is how we have them set up currently, RAM: 1 GB ⚠ (even I was surprised that I hadn't upped this at some point in time) :-) PS: just so you see how low our requirements are, current config is listed below and performance is ok most of the time :-) In this german article and this XServe User guide they mention the (optional ?) install of a (128GB) SSD, where is that located if it's there and could it be added if it's not there ? If anyone can recommend current drives that are known to be compatible and work I would be very grateful.

Mactracker lists 3 x 3.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA) for this model, I recall for the old XServeG5 I had to get Harddrives that can be jumpered (hardware) to force SATA 3,0 Gbit/s (rather than leave them at SATA 6,0 Gbit/s and rely on backward compatibility of the drive) else they had issues. Any opinions here ? I'm a true part time admin and there is no fancy stuff in our network, the router does DHCP the Server is purely fileserver and needs to run Filemaker 12 (or 13 or 14) new addition would be a dropbox client (right now available from 10.6 upwards).Ģ) what Harddrives can I put in ? It is equipped with the 3 listed below, but not trusting the used drives I would like to start fresh and max out the storage space if affordable.ĭisk 1:Hitachi HDS721010KLA330, Kapazität: 1 TBĭisk 2: WDC WD1002FBYS-43P1B0, Kapazität: 1 TBĭisk 3: Toshiba MG03SCA200, Kapazität: 2 TB According to MacTracker it should be able to run OSX 10.11 which would allow me to buy macOS Server 5.2 in the App store and be pretty much up to date.
I'm currently checking the XServe 3.1 and am wonderingġ) what Server OS to run it under. Main reason to look around was that the G5 can only run old Filemaker versions whereas the clients (mostly 10.11) can't run these legacy Filemaker Clients anymore. So this will hopefully last us for the next 10 years in the same role.
(single 2,26 GHz CPU - 12GB RAM - 3 drives 2TB+1TB+1TB ) Now I managed to ebay a Xserve 3.1 with 3 drive bays and OSX Server 10.5 as well as 10.6. It serves us very well, current uptime is just shy of 500 days and it's enough for our 5 clients here in the office. Since 2004 a trustworthy XServe G5 runs as a Fileserver and Filemaker Server here in our tiny company.
