Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Xserve.
1
For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
Maximum capacity of 2.25TB achieved through use of three 750GB Apple Drive Modules.
2
Based on tests conducted by
Apple in October 2006 using preproduction quad 3.0GHz Xeon-based Xserve units and shipping dual 2.3GHz Xserve G5
units. Estimated SPECint_rate_base2000 score: 112.0. Estimated SPECfp_rate_base2000 score: 76.2. See www.spec.org for more
information.

Testing conducted by Apple in October 2006 using preproduction quad 3.0GHz Xeon-based Xserve units. Testing
was conducted using Iometer 2004.07.03 with a 30-second ramp-up, a 2-minute run duration, and a 512KB request size. Each
system was configured as an OS + test disk configuration, where the OS resides on a single dedicated drive, and Iometer tests
are performed against the second drive. Drive average seek time from published manufacturer specifications.

Testing conducted
by Apple in October 2006 using preproduction quad 3.0GHz Xeon-based Xserve units; Xserve G5 systems were shipping units.
Estimated SPECint_rate_base2000 score: 112.0 for quad 3.0GHz Xeon system and 21.1 for dual 2.3GHz G5 system. AMD Opteron
and 3.6GHz Intel Xeon comparisons based on the best published SPECint_rate_base2000 results for each processor type as of
November 9, 2006, and TDP (thermal design power) values available from public sources.

A separate AppleCare Premium Service
and Support Plan must be purchased for each Xserve system to be covered. To qualify, systems must be within the one-year
hardware warranty. Coverage ends three years after date of Xserve purchase. Actual onsite response time and availability of
onsite service depend on location; see www.apple.com/support/products/premium for details. Local telephone fees may apply;
telephone numbers and hours of operation may vary and are subject to change.
