xserve

I have an Xserve on which I have installed DosDude1’s macOS Catalina Patcher. My Xserve now crashes during boot. When using verbose booting it shows all sorts of information, some of which possibly relevant to troubleshooting that crash. I gather that analyzing the boot log is a staple on you...

Hi there everyone, A few weeks ago I answered a local Craigslist ad about an Xserve with dual "550 series Xeons", for 150 euro. I immediately thought that it had to be a 3,1 Xserve and that they probably meant 5500 Nehalem Xeons, that can be officially be upgraded to El Capitan, and the guy...

Hello Folks, Almost a year ago. I read a forum post on another website of of a guy named xxredxpandaxx modding an old apple XRAID. Essentially Gutting the unit and painstakingly soldering sata through the mother board to allows the caddies to hold SATA drives. It was a great idea and it got me...

I have some old 2009 Apple Xserves that I have been trying to keep running with decent speed over the years. I use them for my small business and they must be running 99.9% of the year. I only reason I haven't upgraded yet is because Apple doesn't offer any computers with dual power supplies...

Hi, I'm planning on modifying an old xserve G5 into a hackintosh, but would like to keep it working good as possible. I'm fairly confident I get the main bits up and running, but a bit uncertain at other aspects. The things I'm doubting are: Getting the HDD trays to work (incl lights)...

I'm new to this and I have had a HP ProLiant DL320 G5 Server given to me with an Intel Xeon 3070 so I figured I would try and turn it into a mackintosh/ Xserve. First question: Is this possible and is there anything I should know before starting?
