Installing The Pci Module And Pci Card - Silicon Graphics Octane2 Duo Installation Manual

Installing the PCI Module and PCI Card

007-4506-001
The Octane2 normally has ports to connect one keyboard and one mouse. In order to
support an additional keyboard and an additional mouse, the Duo upgrade includes a
PCI card that has an additional keyboard port and an additional mouse port. This card
also includes an additional Ethernet port.
In order to accept a PCI card, the Octane2 requires a special PCI card cage (also called the
PCI module), which is included with the Octane2 Duo upgrade.
The instructions for installing the PCI card and PCI module may be found in Chapter 4,
"Installing and Removing PCI Boards," in your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide. The
steps involved in the process are outlined below, along with references to specific
portions of Chapter 4 in your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
To install the PCI card and PCI module, follow these steps:
1. Shut down and power off your workstation, as described on page 72 of your
Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
2. Attach a wrist strap to your wrist and to a ground, as described on page 74 of your
Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
Caution: The components inside your workstation are extremely sensitive to static
electricity. Always wear a wrist strap when you replace parts inside your
workstation.
3. Open the PCI module, as described on page 78 of your Octane2 Workstation Owner's
Guide.
4. Select a slot for the PCI board. Unless you intend to use slot 1 for some other
purpose, use slot 1 for the Duo PCI board. For slot location information, see page 79
of your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
5. Install the PCI board into the PCI module, as described on pages 80 through 83 of
your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
