Connecting the Workstation to an SGI Origin 3000
Server That Has L2 Controller Hardware
This section describes how to connect a Silicon Graphics 230 visual
workstation to the Ethernet port (ENET port) of the SGI Origin 3000 series
server L2 controller. If you have a server system with multiple L2
controllers, you can connect the workstation to an Ethernet hub to which
the multiple L2 controllers are connected.
To connect the workstation to an L2 controller, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the SGI Origin 3000 series server, the L2 controller,
and the workstation are powered off.
2. If your server does not have an Ethernet hub, connect the
workstation to the ENET connector on the L2 controller with a
crossover Ethernet cable (see Figure 7).
If your server has an Ethernet hub, connect the workstation to the
leftmost port on the Ethernet hub. Connect one end of standard
Ethernet cable to the ENET port on the L2 controller and connect the
other end to a port on the Ethernet hub (see Figure 7).
