0. Introducing the SGI 1200 Servers

This document is intended to help you get your new SGI server unpacked, connected,

and powered on. Although there are a number of models in the SGI 1200-family of

servers, this document will refer to the products generically as SGI 1200 servers. After

completing the steps in this guide, you may wish to continue with additional

configuration, or read more about your server’s capabilities. Reference the SGI

1200-Family of Servers User’s Guide for more detailed information on your system.

Warning: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server, use two people

and/or a mechanical assist unit to lift it out of the shipping carton. The server

configuration weighs a maximum of 42.0 lbs (19.1 kg). The server, options, and

packaging combination can weigh up to 70.0 lbs (31.8 kg). Use a hand-truck or other

mechanical assist unit to move the server from one location to another. Before

operating this server, read the additional cautions in “Product Warnings” on page 6.

Physical and Environmental Requirements

The SGI 1200 server can be mounted in most industry-standard racks. Contact your sales

or service provider if you need to change the mounting configuration of your server after

receiving the unit. Table 1 provides information on environmental requirements for the

server. For instructions on mounting your server in a 19-inch equipment rack, see the SGI

1200-Family of Servers User’s Guide.

Setting Up Your SGI 1200 Server

Use the information in this section to set up and turn on your SGI 1200 server.

1. Select a proper operational site for your server. Complete instructions for selecting a

safe and appropriate site are provided in the SGI 1200-Family of Servers User’s Guide.

2. Unpack the server from its shipping carton.

3. Remove the drive protection card (if present) from the diskette drive. Figure 1

shows the drive locations on the front of the server (plastic front cover removed).

4. If you plan to use any options (for example, PCI boards, additional memory, and so

on), follow the instructions in the SGI 1200-Family of Servers User’s Guide to install

these items.

Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and

other parts. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD.

However, SGI recommends doing all procedures in this guide only at an

ESD-protected workstation. If one is not available, you can provide some ESD

protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the

server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling components.

5. As applicable, follow the detailed procedures in Chapter 3 of the User’s Guide to

install the unit into a rack.

6. Attach any of the following common peripherals that you intend to use at the

connectors shown in Figure 2:

•Keyboard: plug the keyboard into the keyboard port

•Mouse: plug the mouse into the mouse port

•Terminal: plug the display terminal into the video connector port on the rear of

the server and also into a power source, and turn the terminal on

7. Attach the power cord to the AC power plug at the back of the unit and plug the

other end into a power source.

Caution: Make sure that the power service connection is through a properly

grounded outlet. In geographic regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, using

a surge suppressor is highly recommended.

8. Turn on the rear rocker power switch (on the power supply).

9. Push the front on/off power switch.

Warning: The front on/off power switch does not turn off all internal power. To

completely remove power from the server, you must turn off the rear rocker switch

on the power supply and unplug the AC power cord from the supply or wall

outlet.

Verify that the power-on LED (illustrated in Figure 1 on page 3) on the front panel is

lit. A complete description of these LEDs is provided in the server’s User’s Guide.

After a few seconds, the power-on self-test (POST) begins. To view the POST results,

the terminal must be connected to the rear of the server and turned on.

10. If the server’s operating system (OS) is not pre installed, you should install it using

the instructions in the documentation that shipped with the OS.

Getting Manuals

11. At power on the system displays a CPU description, runs a memory test, displays

several additional screen messages, and then prompts you with the following:

Press <F2> to enter Setup

12. If you do not immediately press F2, the boot process continues. Then this message

appears:

Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSI Utility

•If you press Ctrl+A you enter the SCSI Utility screen. After you make any

changes, press Esc to exit the utility. Note that if there are no SCSI devices

connected to the system you cannot enter the SCSI Utility.

•If you do not press Ctrl+A the system continues the boot process, offers you

another chance to Press <F2> to enter Setup and then proceeds to the

power-on self tests (POST). If the OS is not available you see the message:

Operating System not found

13. While the POST runs, you can press Esc to access a boot menu. From this menu, you

can choose a new boot device or enter BIOS Setup.

After POST completes, the OS loads, then the login screen appears.

completely remove power from the system, you must turn the power supply switch

to off and unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or power supply.
