As I mentioned for the most part no SGI system supports booting from third-party PCI/PCI-X add-in cards that weren't SGI branded, unless the PROM is updated to do it. 

Dear weblacky,

Thank you for the detailed explanation and advice. I will be trying to get the original SGI P/N 018-1005-003 cable. I appreciate the info about the IBM 40H7572 cable, but the one I'v seen available on eBay doesn't look very trustworthy. On the other hand, this cable available on eBay looks nice and new, but I don't think it can be used here because it only has 2 connectors! So, as far as I can see, there is no way to attach a SCSI terminator to it!

Would you agree with my assessment?
Or do you think that cable would work?

Please check and let me know.

Huge thanks in advance and Best Regards,
AK
