You can find the serial number for an Xserve computer within the model's configuration label, which is located on the computer's back panel in a pull out tab (shown below).
On the original product packaging
If you have the product's original packaging, there's a label on the original packaging box that lists the serial number, MAC addresses, and other info.
On the original receipt (or invoice)
Some retailers may include the serial number of your Xserve computer on the receipt.
