Warning: Only personnel with extensive experience repairing server hardware should
attempt to replace or upgrade components inside an SGI Octane III deskside workstation

Note: PCIe cards cannot be “hot installed.” To install PCIe cards, you must first remove the
system tray that contains the PCIe card from the enclosure and the cover from the tray. Refer to
“Extracting an Installed System Tray” on page 16 and “Removing the Tray Cover” on page 20 for
detailed instructions.
Each system tray supports up to four full-size PCIe cards and one mini-PCIe card in the slots
