Octane2 Duo Upgrade Hardware Installation

This chapter describes the installation of the hardware portion of the Silicon Graphics
Octane2 Duo upgrade.
The upgrade consists of the following sections:
• "Preparing the Workstation for the Upgrade" on page 9
• "Installing the Option Drive" on page 10
• "Installing the Additional System Memory" on page 11
• "Installing the PCI Module and PCI Card" on page 13
• "Attaching the Regulatory Label" on page 15
This chapter relies heavily on your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide. Make sure you
have it handy before proceeding with the upgrade.
Before installing any new hardware in your workstation, you should first perform a
complete backup of your system.
After making a backup you should shut down the operating system and power off the
workstation.
The memory, PCI module, and PCI card upgrades require the use of the static dissipating
wrist strap that came with your upgrade kit.
