to make sure that it is fully seated in the motherboard. Once you have seated the
AGP card, replace the side panel as described in the Owner’s Manual, plug in the
system, and boot-up.

2. The SGI Resource CD for Windows NT only works with Internet Explorer 3.0 or

newer versions. It does not work with older versions.

3. The Windows NT Workstation 4.0 default installation from manufacturing will

install the FAT file system. To convert from FAT to NTFS file system, type the
following at the Windows NT MS-DOS prompt:  C:\ convert c:

Note:

The system will convert to NTFS when re-booted.

4. 10,000 RPM hard disk drives should not be installed in the 3.5 inch drive bay above

the floppy disk drive. You can install 10,000 RPM drives in any other available drive
bay.

5. A 3.5 inch hard disk drive can be installed in any available upper 5.25 inch drive bay

if you use the set of metal brackets and hardware provided to convert the bay.

6. The Windows NT system partition was created by SGI as a 2-gigabyte FAT

formatted partition. This allows the end-user to create a multi-boot system with
other operating systems and eases the emergency recovery of Windows NT in sites
with many systems. To address your system usage needs, use your favorite disk
utilities to create and manipulate the system disk.

7. The 450 watt power supply can auto-detect either 110V or 220V power sources.

8. For single CPU configurations on the Silicon Graphics 550 Visual Workstation, the

installed NT 4.0 kernel only supports a single processor. When upgrading to a
two-processor configuration, the Windows NT operating system must be
re-installed.

9. There is no built-in NVIDIA NV10GL driver from Red Hat

 v6.2.   In order to use

graphical logon, temporarily select “NVIDIA GeForce DDR (generic)” with
maximum memory 16384k during Red Hat

installation. After the installation, it is

highly recommended you to install SGI ProPack 1.3 for Linux – Visual Workstation
Edition.

10. The SGI Resource CD contained NVIDIA NV10GL driver v3.77 for Windows NT 4.0

workstation. The latest driver should be v.5.36-2. Please go to SGI’s web site to get
the latest driver.
