System Requirements

The Silicon Graphics 1600SW flat panel monitor can be used with any O2 workstation running IRIX 6.5.2 and later. Systems running IRIX 6.5 and 6.5.1 must be upgraded to IRIX 6.5.2. Upgrades and patches are provided on the CD-ROMs included with the adapter board kit.

1600SW Flat Panel Monitor Information

The 1600SW flat panel monitor ships with additional documentation, the Silicon Graphics 1600SW Flat Panel Monitor Owner's Guide. This guide describes how to use features of the flat panel monitor and provides technical specifications for the device.

O2 Hardware Information

The O2 Workstation Hardware Reference Guide is located on your O2 workstation's hard disk in the IRIS InSight library (unless it has been removed). In this case, you can reinstall it from the IRIX CDs that shipped with your O2 workstation. Locate the online book on your O2 workstation as follows. From the Toolchest on your desktop, choose Help > Online Books > SGI End User > O2 Workstation Hardware Reference Guide.
