Howdy. Certain first generation Xserves had cases that bent over time which I was told are called “Smiling Xserve’s”. I was told they had a recall on these at one point. Anyway, some of ours are smiling and others are not, but I have had this email notification problem from both.
If you pull your Xserve out of its chassis only about an inch, you will see a small metal pin sticking up around the middle of the Xserve along the front display panel. This pin or lever is what detects weather the Xserve has been opened.
I resulted to taping it down securely. I have not had a problem with the email since. Now granted, our Xserves are in a secure data center, so its not as big a deal. If it was out in the middle of nowhere, I would think differently.
Hope this helps…
Regards,
Z
