Xserve (Slot Load)

Compared with the Xserve, this model raised its PowerPC G4 processors from 1 GHz to 1.33 GHz on a faster 167 MHz bus. It replaced the tray-loading CD-ROM with a slot-loading CD-ROM or Combo drive. Two of its three FireWire 400 ports became FireWire 800 ports. Its four drive bays moved to Ultra ATA/133, for up to 720 GB.
