2-2 IRIS OWNER’S GUIDE
SERIES 3000 Version 1.0
Hardware Installation
This manual is applicable to the IRIS 2300T, 2400T, and 2500T. Early IRIS
series 2000 models with the Turbo upgrade may not have the same standard
peripherals described here. The 60 Hz monitor may be different from the one
described in this guide. The mouse may be mechanical rather than optical.
The early IRIS 2400 Turbo system required a separate junction box. For a
description of these features, see the IRIS Workstation Guide Series 2000, Version
1.0 .
To install optional peripherals, see Chapter 7.
The major components have the following functions and features:
• The electronics cabinet for the standard configuration of the IRIS series 3000 is
a floor-standing unit with a 20-slot backplane, a disk drive, and a power
supply (see Figure 2-1). The cabinet uses forced-air cooling and is mounted
on casters. A quarter-inch cartridge tape drive (internal) or a half-inch
streaming tape drive (external) is optional on the IRIS workstation (see
Figure 2-2). A floppy disk drive is standard on the IRIS terminal (see Figure
2-3). See Chapter 6 for disk specifications and Chapter 7 for tape
specifications.
• Three types of monitor are available from Silicon Graphics for the IRIS series
3000. The fifteen-inch and nineteen-inch tilt-and-swivel monitors are 60 Hz
high-resolution RGB color monitors. Silicon Graphics also offers a 33.43 Hz
nineteen-inch interlaced monitor. (This monitor will be referred to as 33 Hz
rather than 33.43 Hz.)
The IRIS series 3000 can also be ordered with drivers for other types of
monitors (see Chapter 8, Video Options).
• The keyboard is an 83-key, up-down encoded keyboard, with right-hand and
left-hand connectors for the optical mouse.
• The mouse is a three-button optical mouse with a grid pad.
