![]() | Note: This chapter shows SGI part numbers with a generic dash number (-xxx). Some system configurations require specific board revisions to work properly. Board revision details may be found in engineering change orders (ECOs) and field information bulletins (FIBs). Contact a support specialist to determine board revisions for a specific configuration. |
