Use inst to install the HD I/O software. For more detailed information on booting the miniroot from a remote CD-ROM, see the IRIX Admin: Software Installation and Licensing manual (007-1364-xxx).
To perform the software installation, follow these steps:
Make sure a CD-ROM drive is attached to your system (or is available on the network).
If necessary, upgrade your system software to IRIX 6.5.4 or later, from the CD set included with the HD I/O software.
Install the HD I/O software.
Reboot the system.
Enter hinv at the IRIX level to determine whether your system recognizes all installed boards. A typical output might appear as follows:
# hinv 2 180 MHZ IP27 Processors CPU: MIPS R10000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.6 FPU: MIPS R10010 Floating Point Chip Revision: 0.0 Main memory size: 256 Mbytes Instruction cache size: 32 Kbytes Data cache size: 32 Kbytes Secondary unified instruction/data cache size: 1 Mbyte Integral SCSI controller 0: Version QL1040B, single ended Disk drive: unit 1 on SCSI controller 0 Integral SCSI controller 1: Version QL1040B, single ended IOC3 serial port: tty1 IOC3 serial port: tty2 Integral Fast Ethernet: ef0, version 1, module 1, slot io1, pci 2 Origin BASEIO board, module 1 slot 1: Revision 3 XT-HDIO Video: controller 2, unit 0, version 0x0 IOC3 external interrupts: 1 |
You can use hinv -m to obtain the board serial number, revision level, and other statistics. A typical output might appear as follows:
# hinv -m
