not connect directly to the “outside world” because mixing external and internal cluster network
traffic could impact application performance.
Site Plan Verification
Ensure that all site requirements are met before you install and boot your system. If you have
questions about the site requirements or you would like to order full-size floor templates for your
site, contact an SGI site planning representative by e-mail ([email protected]).
Additional helpful site planning information can be found in the SGI Altix XE Cluster Site
Planning Guide, (P/N 007-5456-00x).
Unpacking and Installing a Cluster Rack
When your system is housed in a single rack, the cluster components come rackmounted and
cabled together and a document describing how to unpack and install the rack should be included
with the system. Refer to the SGI Altix XE System Rack Installation Instructions (P/N
007-4902-00x). Follow the instructions provided in that manual to safely and properly unpack and
install your rack system. Ensure all rack power distribution units are properly plugged in and the
circuit breakers are switched to (On). All units within the rack should be connected to power
before booting.
Multi-rack cluster systems require connection of special interconnect cables between racks. The
Manufacturing System Diagram document (P/N 007-4944-00x) shipped with your cluster system
describes the inter-rack cable connections. If you have arranged for SGI field personnel to install
the system rack(s), contact your service representative. After your cluster rack(s) are installed,
refer back to this guide to continue working with your SGI cluster system.
Booting the XE Cluster
Power on any mass storage units attached to your cluster, then press the power button on the front
of the head node and let it fully boot. Repeat the process on all the other nodes (compute nodes)
in the cluster. See the applicable subsection for your system configuration.
