Introduction

Important: SGI Rackable server systems may sometimes require driver versions that are not
included in the original operating system release. When required, SGI provides these drivers on
an SGI Driver CD, which may ship with the system, or on the system disk (pre-installed in the
factory). For more information on this topic check with your sales or service representative.
