    The Xserve was designed to work with specific Apple-labelled drives. Users have had intermittent luck (or not) using third party drives, especially larger drives. Apple never advertised the ability to swap drives in the sleds.

     

    There are few things you can try, but the easiest may be to look for an official (used) Xserve drive from a used equipment dealer. A quick Google for 'Xserve parts' should get you going.
