SGI Origin 3000 Documentation
SGI Origin 3000 Documentation describes the Silicon Graphics manuals for the SGI Origin 3000 series hosted here, with the PDF of each. Both are SGI's own electronic editions with searchable text, from the mirror of SGI's TechPubs library.[1] Neither goes below the field-replaceable units: there are no schematics or component lists for the bricks or the power bay.
