®

NAS ISS3124-RP2 Server and IS2224 JBOD system. Booting

information and descriptions of the major components in the system are covered. This guide also
provides basic troubleshooting and maintenance information, BIOS references, and important
safety and regulatory specifications.

Audience

This guide is written for installers, users and system administrators of the SGI ISS3124-RP2 and
IS2224 JBOD NAS systems. It is written with the assumption that the reader has a good working
knowledge of Network Attached Storage, computer interface cabling and computer systems. This
guide may also be useful to service personnel looking for overview information on the
ISS3124-RP2 NAS system.

Chapter Descriptions

The following topics are covered in this guide:

•

Chapter 1, “Introduction,”

provides an overview of the ISS3124-RP2 based NAS system and

its various components. Information is provided to guide the user to the setup steps they will
need to take to get their system setup and operational.

•

Chapter 2, “ISS3124-RP2 Server and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation,”

provides hardware, drive and cable installation instructions for SGI NAS system hardware.
Rails, enclosures or other mounting hardware that did not come already installed in a system
rack are covered, along with basic cabling guidelines.

•

Chapter 3, “ISS3124-RP2 NAS Operation and GUI Startup,”

describes the control panel as

well as the drives and lists the steps necessary to bring the enclosures and drives online. GUI
