Slimline Optical Drive Carrier
The slimline optical drive carrier can be used with an optional optical drive. One slimline
carrier and the optical drive must be purchased separately.
The slimline optical drive carrier can be inserted or removed only when system power is
turned off. Drives in the optical drive carrier are NOT hot swappable. For installation
instructions on installing an optical drive, see “Installing or Removing a Slimline Optical
Drive”.
Note: The SGI Altix XE210 server does not support all slimline optical drives.Contact your SGI
representative for a list of compatible drives
Rack-Mounted Systems
Your server system can be mounted into a rack. SGI provides two options to mount this
server into a rack. When installing the chassis into a rack, SGI recommends you install
systems from the bottom of the rack to the top. In other words, install the first system in
the rack into the bottom position of the rack, the second system in the second position
from the bottom, and so on. Instructions for installing your chassis into a rack are included
in the rail kit.
System Security and Pre-Installed Operating
Systems
If your server was shipped with a pre-installed Linux operating system, the password for
root was set to sgisgi for your convenience. You should change this password at your
earliest opportunity. Consult your Linux documentation for the procedure.
