Q: XServe 2* 3.0GHz Intel 5400 QUAD CORE
Hi ,
I am looking at getting a XServe 2* 3.0GHz Intel 5400 QUAD CORE for a project
and have the disks for 10.7.5 from for my other server. Can I install this software agin on the new machine
and will i be able to upgrade it to what ? version of OS X ?
Thanks

Xserve, OS X Server

This would the early 2008 model which originally came with OS X Server 10.5.1 unlimited version.
You can install 10.7 Server but that would be the furthest it could go in terms of what Apple officially supports. Some enterprising folks have installed later versions of OS X using unsupported methods such as installing a later OS on hardware that supports it and then cloning that installation to a drive you later install on the XServe. However YMMV and you'd be on your own anyway.
