This guide is provided for all Octane2 users and SGI technical support staff. Most of the
hardware tasks are relatively simple and require no previous computer knowledge. A
few tasks are lengthy; they are easier to perform if you have some computer hardware
experience.
For complete information on installing software, see the online Personal System
Administration Guide. It is located on your desktop in Toolchest > Help > Online Books.
For more advanced information, see the online IRIX Admin: Software Installation &
Licensing Guide. For system administration information, see the SGI_Admin section of
the online bookshelf.
It's always a good idea to back up your system. For instructions on backing up your
system, see the online Personal System Administration Guide.
The Octane2 workstation is designed for user maintenance and repair without the help
of a trained technician. For product support information, contact your SGI subsidiary or
