System and Serverboard Information

This chapter includes best practice procedures to work with a node board in the SGI Rackable
C1104-GP2/C1110-GP2 chassis and understand the system PCIe expansion cards and hard disk
drives. Use the information in Chapter 6 to troubleshoot your server and add, remove, or replace
system components.
A layout and quick reference chart is included in this chapter for your reference.
Some software products are protected with software license keys derived from the Media Access
Control (MAC) Ethernet address. If your system requires the replacement of a node board, the
MAC Ethernet address changes. If you are using such a product, you or your service representative
must request a new license key after replacement of a node board. Contact your local customer
support office:

Caution: Install the chassis cover after you have completed accessing the components inside the
server to maintain proper airflow and cooling for the system.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electrostatic-sensitive devices inside the
C1104-GP2/C1110-GP2 server. Use the ESD precautions described below when you handle
printed circuit boards or other components in the system. The following measures are generally
sufficient to protect your equipment from electro-static discharge.
