Have an Xserve RAID and was looking in getting the MacMini server. How would I connect them since the Xserve only has Fibre connections?
You can't. You need a machine that can take a fibre connection card to attach to the Xserve RAID.

Tod's correct. You currently can't, but the next revision of the Mac Mini will include ThunderBolt, and once that happens you'll be able to use a ThunderBolt-to-Fibre bridge that Promise is about to release:

See that kills me, it really is too bad that the xserve did not see one last update so it could have received thunderbolt. 😟
You could always buy an ATTO FC to iSCSI bridge and mount the Xserve RAID with iSCSI. That's pretty silly though as for the price of the bridge you could easily get a Mac Pro (Server) with a FC card and connect the Xserve RAID.
Connecting new Mac mini server to Xserve RAID?
