Chapter 3
Advanced Node Board Setup
This chapter includes procedures to install a node board into the SGI Altix XE250 chassis,
connect the data and power cables, and install expansion cards. All node board jumpers and
connections are also discussed.
A layout and quick reference chart is included in this chapter for your reference.
Note: Some software products are protected with software license keys derived from the
Media Access Control (MAC) Ethernet address. When you replace a node board, the MAC
Ethernet address changes. If you are using such a product, you must request a new license key after
replacing the node board. Contact your local customer support office:

Caution: Install the chassis cover after you have completed accessing the components inside the
server to maintain proper airflow and cooling for the system.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electrostatic-sensitive devices inside the
SGI Altix XE250 server. Use the ESD precautions described below when you handle printed
circuit boards or other components in the system. The following measures are generally sufficient
to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
