Removing the Duo Upgrade
This chapter describes the removal of the hardware portion of the Silicon Graphics
Octane2 Duo upgrade.
There is no need to remove the software portion of the Duo upgrade. It may easily be
deactivate, as described in "Configuring a Duo System to Function as a Dual Head
System" on page 34.
Note: If you simply wish to use a Duo system as a Dual Head, single-user system—
whether on a temporary or a long-term basis—there is no need to remove the hardware.
You may simply deactivate the Duo software, as described in "Configuring a Duo System
to Function as a Dual Head System" on page 34, and disconnect the secondary keyboard
and mouse.
The removal process consists of the following sections:
•
"Preparing the Workstation for the Removal" on page 42
•
"Removing the Option Drive" on page 43
•
"Removing the Additional System Memory" on page 44
•
"Removing the PCI Module and PCI Card" on page 46
This chapter relies heavily on your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide. Make sure you
have it handy before proceeding with the removal.
