If you ever need to take apart an Xserve RAID, watch for the extra screw on the case bottom!
It's essential and not in the Service Manual I've got. (Hopefully it's in a newer version.)
When you get to just about the last step and you need to rotate the front half of the chassis up (say, for replacing the midplane board) take a break. Don't keep slamming it up, muttering "I'm following the directions!" :)
Pull the whole chassis forward a bit, over the edge of the table and remove the tiny screw that's front and center on the bottom of the chassis. Then pull the front of the front half of the chassis up and over the peg - simply sliding it forward does not seem to give enough room to get the midplane board clear.
And don't forget to put it back when re-assembling. :)
