System Overview
The Octane III deskside cluster server is comprised of a stand-alone enclosure that can be
configured as a workgroup server or super cluster. Figure 1-4 on page 8 shows an example front
view of an Octane III system.
Depending on the configuration ordered, the system holds up to ten (10) “trays” (one head node
and up to nine compute trays) that house serverboards, memory DIMMs, hard drives and I/O
options. Octane III enclosures are mounted on castors so they can be moved within the office or
lab environment. Check with your sales or service representative before loading any operating
system on your Octane III not provided by the SGI factory or service organization.
In addition to the compute trays and chassis, various hardware components may be included as
part of your Octane III configuration as listed below:
• Drive Accessories: A minimum of one hard disk drive (used by the head node) is required
for operation. One (1) optional hard disk drive or solid state drive (SSD) may be used per
compute tray.
• A PCI Express x16 riser is available via each node board.
• One (1) optional external DVD-RW drive can be used with each Octane III deskside system.
• Optional internal Gbit Ethernet or InfiniBand switches are used to interconnect cluster server
configurations using more than two trays.
Note: There is no provision for external InfiniBand connections with the Octane III system.
