Use the information in the following subsections to get your Octane III unpacked, setup and
working in your office or lab environment. If your system ships with hardware, software or media
not listed in this guide, please see its accompanying documentation for installation instructions.
Unpacking the System
Open the SGI Octane III system packaging container and inspect all shipped items for evidence
of mishandling during transit. If the contents appear damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier
immediately.

system off the shipping pallet. The system can weigh up to approximately 178 pounds (81 kg).
Use the following steps and Figure 1-1 on page 3 to properly unpack your Octane III system:
1. After you have cut the package banding and opened the top, remove the wood ramp and
place it near the front of the pallet.

3. Remove any items packaged at the top of the box, then pull off the shipping pads and
anti-static plastic cover.
4. Extract the two bolts that hold the front brace to the shipping pallet assembly and remove it.
5. Align the two bolt holes on the end of the ramp (removed in step 1) with the holes on the
front of the shipping pallet, then push the bolts into place to secure the ramp.
