1. Introduction
The SGI ISS3112-RP2 NAS is a 2U rackmount system (see Figure 1-1 on page 2 for an example).
In addition to the ISS3112-RP2 NAS head node controller board and chassis, various standard
components have been included with each NAS system, as listed:
• An “open me first” kit (including this document)
• SAS or SSD drives and mounting brackets with labels
• Two power supplies (installed in the ISS3112-RP2 NAS server enclosure)
• One rackmount rail kit (already mounted if you ordered an SGI rack)
• One CD containing drivers and utilities
Important: SGI NAS systems may 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 (when applicable) on the system disk
(pre-installed in the factory). For more information on this topic check with your sales or
service representative.
Optional hardware components include:
• Expansion drive enclosures (either MIS JBOD or IS2224 JBOD systems)
• An SGI computer equipment rack (D-Rack)
Note: If you ordered your ISS3112-RP2 NAS system with a rack, it should come with all
enclosures already installed and cabled. See also, “Inspecting a Shipment” on page 11.
