You can find the answers to these questions at
http://www.apple.com/finalcutserver/
It lists all Final Cut Server requirements.
Final Cut Server is a very complex software despite its low cost, so I would recommend you to read
Drew Tucker's book first.

Final Cut Server can bring a lot of benefits to a newsroom. Don't think of it as a substitute for a $100,000 or a $1,000,000 newsroom automation system though.

KCBS in Los Angeles used it and talked about it publicly:

Apple created a promo video for it as well:

The book mentioned above is very helpful, but if you can hire someone with experience to get you started you'll be most successful.
