1. 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.
The Rackable C2112-4G3 server is a 2U rackmount system (see Figure 1-1)
. It has two main
subsystems: the 2U server chassis and four one- or two-processor integrated serverboards
.
In addition to the four serverboards and the chassis, various hardware components have been
included with the system, as listed:
• Four 8-cm chassis fans
• Up to eight “G34” passive CPU heatsinks
• Four air shrouds (one for each serverboard)
• Four riser cards (one for each serverboard)
• 12 hard-disk drive trays (three drive trays for each serverboard)
• SATA accessories
• Two power supplies
• One rackmount kit
• One CD containing drivers and utilities
Note: Use of an optional external (USB) CD/DVD drive may be required if you choose to
load new or updated software directly to a stand-alone C2112-4G3 server.
