Apple Xserve Field Guide
Attention Xserve administrators: Apple has created an Xserve Field Guide web app that can you can use to jog your memory when you're standing in front of a server and can't remember how to perform some manual task.The web app is designed to be viewed on a Mac, iPhone, or iPod touch, and requires Safari as the browser. If you need to identify what model of XServe you're working on, want to know how to install spare parts, would like to decode what blinking lights on the Xserve mean, or even determine how to choose a startup drive using the system identifier button, it's all in this web app.
You can visit the web app from your favorite browser here:

or from your iPhone at this URL:

Hey, good news! This application works on the T-Mobile G1, even though it does not work on my Mac in Firefox. Some of us needed to stay with T-Mobile but still work on Macs...

Oddly enough, this won't display properly by default (shows up small) or respond to taps on my iPhone.

Me too, nothing but a tiny little image of the app in Safari on my fw2.2 iPhone 3G.

You can surf directly to http://help.apple.com/server/guide/main.html to get the iPhone version, otherwise you are be directed to the desktop version. (as the link in the article)
The original link by apple was http://help.apple.com/server/guide/

Surprising that Apple wouldn't include a WebApp icon for something like this. Or attach the required code to have it run in full screen Safari after being added to the home screen like mapquest does.
