Chapter 1

1. System Quick Start and Overview

This chapter provides quick setup and overview information for your SGI Octane III cluster

server.

Operating precautions are provided in this chapter, followed by basic setup instructions and a

general overview of the product. Before starting and operating your system, familiarize yourself

with the safety information in the following section:

ESD and Safety Precautions

Caution: Observe all ESD precautions. Failure to do so can result in damage to the equipment.

Wear an electro-static discarge (ESD) wrist strap when you handle any ESD-sensitive device or

board to help eliminate possible ESD damage to equipment. Connect the wrist strap cord directly

to earth ground.

Warning: Before operating or servicing any part of this product, read the safety

precautions.

Danger: Keep fingers and conductive tools away from high-voltage areas. Failure to

follow these precautions will result in serious injury or death. The high-voltage areas of the

system are indicated with high-voltage warning labels.

Caution: Power off the system only after the system software has been shut down in an orderly

manner. If you power off the system before you halt the operating system, data may be corrupted.

1: System Quick Start and Overview

Quick Setup Procedures

Use the information in the following subsections to get your Octane III unpacked, setup and

working in your office or lab environment. If your system ships with hardware, software or media

not listed in this guide, please see its accompanying documentation for installation instructions.

Unpacking the System

Open the SGI Octane III system packaging container and inspect all shipped items for evidence

of mishandling during transit. If the contents appear damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier

immediately.

Caution: To avoid personal injury when unloading the system, use two people when rolling the

system off the shipping pallet. The system can weigh up to approximately 178 pounds (81 kg).

Use the following steps and Figure 1-1 on page 3 to properly unpack your Octane III system:

1. After you have cut the package banding and opened the top, remove the wood ramp and

place it near the front of the pallet.

2. Check that the following items are included, an external DVD-RW drive and

monitor/keyboard/mouse may come as options:

• SGI Octane III deskside system

• System power cords

• Silicon Graphics or 3rd party software CDs

•SGI Octane III Deskside Cluster Server User’s Guide (this document)

3. Remove any items packaged at the top of the box, then pull off the shipping pads and

anti-static plastic cover.

4. Extract the two bolts that hold the front brace to the shipping pallet assembly and remove it.

5. Align the two bolt holes on the end of the ramp (removed in step 1) with the holes on the

front of the shipping pallet, then push the bolts into place to secure the ramp.

6. Use two people to slowly roll the Octane III system off the pallet and down the ramp.

7. Roll the system carefully into the operation location and position it for setup.
