The Origin 350 server system is the latest advancement in the SGI NUMAflex approach
to modular computing. It is designed to deliver maximum sustained performance in a
compact system footprint. Independent scaling of computational power, I/O bandwidth,
and in-rack storage lets you configure a system to meet your unique computational
needs. The small footprint and highly modular design of the Origin 350 server system
makes it ideal for computational throughput, media streaming, or complex data
management.
The Origin 350 server system can be expanded from a standalone 2 processor server
system to a high-performance server system with 32 processors, 64 GB of memory, and
62 PCI/PCI-X slots. For most configurations, the Origin 350 server system is housed in
one 17U rack or one 39U rack as shown in Figure 2-1; however, for small system
configurations, the Origin 350 server system can be placed on a table top.
Systems that are housed in 17U racks have a maximum weight of approximately 488 lb
(221 kg). The maximum weight of systems that are housed in 39U racks is approximately
1,100 lb (499 kg). The racks have casters that enable you to remove the system from the
shipping container and roll it to its placement at your site.
See Chapter 1, "Installation and Operation," for more information about installing your
system. Your Site Planning Guide for SGI Origin 350 and SGI Onyx 350 Rack Systems
(007-4649-00x) also provides additional physical planning information.
For more information about the technical specifications of your system, see Appendix A,
"Technical Specifications," in this manual.
