0. SGI 1450 Server Quick Start Guide

This guide provides basic system setup information, from unpacking to booting your

SGI 1450 Server, as follows:

•Unpacking and Inspecting the Server

•Determining Space Requirements

•Choosing a Site

•Determining Power Cord Requirements

•Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse

•Using Chassis Front Controls and Indicators

•Turning on the Video Monitor and Server

•Running Power-On Self Test

•Changing the Boot Device Priority Temporarily

See the SGI 1450 Server Mounting Instructions for a description of how to mount the

system into a rack. (Consult the SGI 1450 Server Documentation CD for SGI 1450 Server

manuals available in ten languages.)

See the SGI 1450 Server User’s Guide for more detailed information, including additional

configuration information and the installation of customer-replaceable components.

To obtain SGI documentation using the World Wide Web, go to the SGI Technical

Publications Library at http://techpubs.sgi.com. Enter a keyword search, or

search by title to find the information or manual you need.

Warning: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server, use only a

mechanical assist unit to lift it off the shipping pallet. The minimum server

configuration weighs 26 kg (57 lbs); the maximum configuration weighs 40 kg (88 lbs).

Do not attempt to lift or move the server by the handles on the power supplies. Use

only a hand-truck or other mechanical assist unit to move the server from one location

to another.

SGI 1450 Server Quick Start Guide

Unpacking and Inspecting the Server

Remove the server from the packaging container and check that all accessories are

included. Inspect the packaging container for evidence of mishandling during transit. If

the packaging container is damaged, photograph it for reference. After removing the

contents, keep the damaged container and the packing materials.

Inspect the server and accessories for damage. If the contents appear damaged, file a

damage claim with the carrier immediately.

Determining Space Requirements

The SGI 1450 Server is designed to be either mounted in a standard 19-inch rack (rack

mode) or standing upright (pedestal mode).

For instructions on mounting the SGI 1450 Server, see the SGI 1450 Server Mounting

Instructions.

The following table specifies the space requirements for the SGI 1450 Server system.

Table 1 SGI 1450 Server Physical Specification

Width 17.5-inch rack

Depth 26.5 inches

Weight 57 lbs. (26 kg), minimum configuration

88 lbs. (40 kg), maximum configuration

Required front clearance 3 inches (inlet air temperature <35 °C / 95 °F)

Required rear clearance 6 inches (no airflow restriction allowed)

Required side clearance 1 inch

Choosing a Site

007-4275-001ML 3

Choosing a Site

The server operates reliably within normal office environments. Select a site that meets

these criteria:

•Near a properly earthed, grounded, three-pronged power outlet, as follows:

–In the United States and Canada: a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V and a

NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V.

–In other geographic areas: a properly earthed, grounded outlet in accordance

with the local electrical authorities and electrical code of the region.

•Clean and relatively free of excess dust.

•Well ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the

server kept free of obstructions.

•Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.

•Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and line noise caused by electrical

devices such as elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric

motors, radio and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices.

•Access space provided so the server power cords can be unplugged from the power

supply or the wall outlet; this is the only way to remove AC power from the server.

•Clearance provided for cooling and airflow.

Caution: In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, it is recommended that you

plug your system into a surge suppressor and disconnect telecommunication lines to

your modem during electrical storms.

SGI 1450 Server Quick Start Guide

Determining Power Cord Requirements

Warning: Never modify a supplied AC power cord. Do not use a supplied AC power

cord if it is not the exact type required in the region where the server will be installed

and used. Replace the cord with the correct type. Refer to the cord requirements

described below. Do not plug in the server power cord yet if you will be adding

internal parts (boards, DIMMs, removable media drives).

Caution: The power supply in this product contains no user-serviceable parts. There

may be more than one supply in this product. Obtain servicing only from qualified

personnel. The DC power on/off button on the system does not turn off system AC

power. To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug each AC power cord

from the wall outlet or power supply.

The power cords must meet these requirements:

•Rating: Cords must be rated for available AC voltage and have a current rating at

least 125% of the current rating of the server.

•Connector, wall outlet end: Cords must be terminated in a grounding-type male

plug designed for use in your region. It must have certification marks showing

certification by an agency acceptable in your region.

•Connector, server end: The connector that plugs into the AC receptacle on the

server must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female connector.

•Cord length and flexibility: Cords must be less than 4.5 meters (14.76 feet) long,

and must be flexible (harmonized) or VDE-certified to comply with the server’s

safety certifications.

Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse

007-4275-001ML 5

Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse

Connect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other external devices to their appropriate

ports.

Caution: Before connecting external devices, make sure the server is not plugged in, or

equipment could be damaged.

Using Chassis Front Controls and Indicators

Figure 2 Front Panel Controls and Indicators

The following front controls and indicators are shown in Figure 2.

A. Power on/off button: If you press this button when the system is off, you turn on the

power subsystem. If you press this button when the system is in sleep state, you activate

it. If you hold down the button for more than 4 seconds, you override the ACPI mode

and the power is turned off.

B. Reset button: If you press this button, you reset the system. If you hold down this

button for 4 seconds or more the CMOS will be cleared if the power button is pushed,

and then both the reset and power buttons are released within one second of each other.

C. Sleep button: If the operating system supports ACPI and you press this button, the

operating system goes into sleep state (S1). If you press this button during sleep state, the

operating system becomes active. This system does not have a service mode.

G. USB ports 0 (upper) and 1 (lower), 4-pin connectors

H. NIC RJ45 connector

I. Serial port 2 (COM1), 9-pin RS-232 connector

J. IEEE 1284 compliant, 25-pin bi-directional parallel connector

K. Serial port 1 (COM1), 9-pin RS-232 connector

L. PS/2-compatible keyboard connector

M. PS/2-compatible mouse connector

N. HW push button

O. PCI green and amber LEDs on the inside of the chassis
