SGI Fuel Documentation describes the Silicon Graphics manuals for the Silicon Graphics Fuel hosted here, with the PDF of each. All three are SGI's own electronic editions with searchable text, taken from the Jurassic.nl mirror of SGI's TechPubs library.
Silicon Graphics Fuel Visual Workstation Hardware User's Guide (007-4480-001)
[edit | edit source]SGI's owner's guide for the Fuel, document 007-4480-001, February 2002, 180 pages.[1]
Contents: 1 getting started (shipment, lifting, setting up); 2 using the workstation (logging in, desktop, powering off); 3 system components (enclosure, IP34 system board, processor, DIMM rules, disks, removable media, VPro graphics, PCI buses, power supply, cooling, options); 4 servicing the system (preparation and side panel removal, Table 4-1 customer-replaceable parts, DIMMs, disks, removable media, PCI boards, locks, fans and air duct, chassis feet, bezel, switch and LED assembly); 5 troubleshooting and diagnostics (environmental fault monitoring, Table 5-1 light bar signals, power-on, offline and online diagnostics); appendix A technical specifications (Table A-1 environment, Table A-2 power supply, port pinouts, serial cables, VPro ports); B safety and regulatory information, including the lithium battery statement; C internal power and SCSI cabling diagrams.[1]
