Verifying System Connections

007-4701-003
Once your Silicon Graphics Prism Visualization System is installed in a rack (or
otherwise situated), is cabled together via NUMAlink, and is powered on, you should
verify that all modules are being seen by Linux + ProPack. To do this, follow these steps:
1. From a Linux prompt, type hinv <Enter>
2. To verify the connection of all the graphics modules check the output for lines
similar to the following examples:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 NG [FireGL X2] (rev xxx). on
pci11.01.0
Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 [FireGL X2] (Secondary) (rev xxx). on
pci11.01.1
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 NG [FireGL X2] (#2) (rev xxx).
on pci12.01.0
Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 [FireGL X2] (Secondary) (#2) (rev xxx).
on pci12.01.1
3. To verify all graphics boards in the system are seen, count the number of entries in
the output similar to the example output in step 2. Each two-line entry represents
one graphics pipe.
4. If the output does not show all the graphics pipes present, recheck all power, and
cable connections to be sure they are properly plugged in. See Chapter 5,
"Troubleshooting," for additional trouble shooting tips and L1 messaging.
To confirm the presence of the graphics boards in the system using a Linux
command-line, use the following:
1. Enter /sbin/lspci from a Linux prompt.
2. Check the output for information similar to the following:
11:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 NG [FireGL X2] (rev
xx)
11:01.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 [FireGL X2] (Secondary) (rev
xx)
12:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 NG [FireGL X2] (rev
xx)
12:01.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 [FireGL X2] (Secondary) (rev
xx)
